Independence Day Sequel Is A Go
Long rumored, and almost forgotten, the Independence Day sequel is stumbling back into life. 20th Century Fox has greenlit the sequel and wants to begin shooting in May 2015. Will Smith is not returning, but almost everyone expects Roland Emmerich to return to the director’s chair (although a deal hasn’t been put in place yet, Fox is pushing for Emmerich to return). Their plan is to hit July 2016, right around the original film’s 20th anniversary, which is nice… but I’m not sure it’ll help the film much. I wonder if this can work out, or if it’ll be a mess like many other revivals.
