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.

    It's a pity they never made any sequels to that movie.
    It was really fantastic.

  2. Well timed, actually by DoofusOfDeath · · Score: 4, Funny

    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.

  3. Good by benbean · · Score: 5, Funny

    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.

  4. Bill Pullman anyone? by GPLDAN · · Score: 5, Funny

    Come on... you forgot Bill Pullman as the kick-ass Fighter Pilot President. His role was so influential, GW Bush actually mimicked the role!

  5. Plot Spoiler! by gambit3 · · Score: 4, Funny

    In this one, the aliens come back with a different OS, and now running Antivirus!

  6. Reminds me of the Independence Day review by clickety6 · · Score: 5, Funny

    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".
