Will Smith In For Independence Day 2 & 3
bowman9991 writes "If one isn't enough, there are reports that two sequels to Roland Emmerich's 1996 alien invasion blockbuster Independence Day are in the works. Will Smith is back too. Apparently he delayed a sequel earlier by asking for too much money." Other rumors include using an iPad to destroy the alien space ships this time, and letting Obama fly a biplane. Data will have a 5-minute monologue about what it means to be human.
Please let it be an early April Fools' Day joke.

I think they jumped the gun. At least I hope that's the case.
It's a pity they never made any sequels to that movie.
It was really fantastic.
...who found it ironic that a film with "Independence" in the title had quite so many product placements in it.

Vacuum cleaners suck. Kings rule.
In these two sequels, it will be the House of Representatives and the Senate buildings that get vaporized. In 3D.
This will shatter all revenue records.
Righto. Should we form the line to the left or the right?
At the bottom of the
I'm fairly certain when no one bittorents these movies, the MPAA will credit it to a) advances in DRM, or b) creating a big budget 3D theatre experience that can't be recreated at home. In reality, it will be because a hole in the space time continuum will be ripped open through the collasal gravity well of SUCK.

If for no other reason than the attendant publicity might finally teach the people of the Internet how to correctly spell "independence".
I would also like to see "You, Your and You're", a romantic comedy starring Jennifer Aniston or Sandra Bullock.
It's a Unix system - I know this.
Come on... you forgot Bill Pullman as the kick-ass Fighter Pilot President. His role was so influential, GW Bush actually mimicked the role!
Righto. Should we form the line to the left or the right?
To the left. Here in the US that's the side that has oncoming traffic.

I suspect it'll be ID4-2-3D ...

wouldn't ID4-2 be ID2?
These comments are my personal opinions and do not necessarily reflect the opinions of the other voices in my head.
In this one, the aliens come back with a different OS, and now running Antivirus!

Maybe they'll just skip the prequel trilogy and go straight for ID5 and 6.
Pretty good is actually pretty bad.
Can't find it now, but it was along the lines of:
"Independence Day. Aliens arrive on Earth in giant spaceships and proceed to destroy the White House.
However, they later turn out not top be friendly after all".

Nope, definitely ID10-T.
No, they're actually moving onto the next holidays in the calendar and hoping to make a franchise of it with a year's worth of holidays. The first sequel will be Labor day, where the aliens will attack the beaches while WIll Smith is getting his last summer vacation in. The next will be Columbus day, where the alien space-sailors will contact us and sleep with our women and transfer an alien version of small pox and STDs that will threaten to wipe out up to 90% of the human population while the aliens are busy melting down our jewelry to ship back to the alien home world. Fortunately Will Smith and his laptop will be there to upload some anti-bodies into the alien bio-mainframe to stop the viruses.
Gentlemen! You can't fight in here, this is the war room!
Maybe if he does join scientology he can create a Battlefield Earth sequel. ;)

The preceding comment is my own, and in no way construes an opinon of the Emperor of Mankind.
Don't forget One Hour Photo. He wasn't funny at all in that movie.
But he used a mac, they "just work".
Calling someone a "hater" only means you can not rationally rebut their argument.
