Will Smith In For Independence Day 2 & 3

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the exploding-national-monuments dept.

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.

    Independence Day 2:

    The aliens were the ships. What we thought were the aliens were the ship's parasites. Having discovered a planet that cleans them of parasites, the aliens come en masse to be cleaned. The earth fight endless "alien" hordes, never understanding we've become a galactic "spa" for the aliens.

    Independence Day 3:

    The aliens finally aknowledge the existance of the parasite cleaners who call themselves "hunams". They decide that the "hunams" are Earth's parasites and, fearing contagion, declare the solar system a bio-hazard zone and nuke it from galactical orbit.
