Independence Day 2 And A New Stargate A Possibility

Independence Day 2 And A New Stargate A Possibility

We were uncertain if Roland Emmerich's massive hit back in 1996 "Independence Day" would have a sequel, but now things are changing. Have a look!

Dean Devlin Had a chat with The Hollywood Reporter and he had a lot of interesting stuff to say.



Speaking about an Independence Day sequel Dean Devlin told The Hollywood Reporter :

"for the very first time since we did the original, I feel we have a worthy concept, a worthy path to go, ..Whether or not we can make this happen, if we can get all the pieces to come together, that’s gonna be challenging."




"We resisted doing the sequel for years because we still wanted to honor the first one. The first one gave us all careers, and we really love that movie and loved the experience," Devlin explained. "We didn’t want to make a movie because it was financially a good idea, we only wanted to do it when we had an idea and a concept that creatively felt like it honored the first one -- that it felt like an organic sequel as opposed to ‘let’s just go make some more money.'
I feel like we got it," he continued. "I think it took a long time, but I feel like we finally got something that really feels like, 'that’s worth seeing as a sequel to Independence Day.'"


And regarding Stargate he added:

"Stargate has always had this empty hole, When we made the first one, we always intended on doing part two and three, and we were prevented for years. And our hope is that we can get another chance at Stargate and tell the entire story we wanted to tell."

I would like a Stargate II and III. I would still like to see Emmerich and Devlin's original vision for the franchise, and it could renew interest in the franchise, making a revival of Stargate Universe more likely.

I just hope that they go with the idea of Will's character being The President, just cuz we got Obama and Will has been vocal bout wanting to star in a Obama biopic, that he doesnt see this as his secondary chance to somewhat play Obama in a way

Will had a son in the first one so my guess is he would get jaden in it...but I cant see where they can take this movie,just more aliens attacking

As for sequels to these films I refer to someone who once said: "AHH,HELL NO!" (Will Smith said that..like a million times.)

Well the most natural expansion of the story is what the first one left us...the ships are down but the aliens have been proven to survive a crash...and are pretty tough...so all out resistance of the humans against the aliens is a good way imo.
As for stargate II and III i would be excited to see their vision...but i loved sg1 and atlantis (universe was ok from the little i saw of it) i just wonder if it will wipe out sg1 and the rest from cannon or take a new direction (they would deffinately need to recast the main actors.

hey, since Bill Pullman's president character was also a fighter pilot in the original, Will's character to be made as the new president WOULD be cool..however..like it or not, his wife, played by the then SUPER HOT vivica a. fox, WAS a stripper. and an ex-stripper becoming the first lady..[cough]..too much of a stretch even compared to an alien invasion. sorry..not gonna do it.

but, i hope when the DO do it, it'll be much better and actually EDUCATE the filmmakers of alien invasion wannabe flicks from these last few years..Battle: Los Angeles, Darkest Hours, Skyline...some, greeat f/x, all, VERY lousy stories.

@Nubase
So what, they spent all these years reverse engineering space flight from the alien crafts and have taken the war to the aliens?

Well since they said its their vision of the franchise continuation, it will probably wipe the tv series from the canon.

I actually liked Battle: Los Angeles -- the rest were pretty bad though.

Independence Day sequel? Well if the plot for it is as good as what he says it is, I would give it a chance

love the original

[frick] off with the Stargate sequels, SG-1, Atlantis & Universe is the sequel to it, even if you had nothing do with it

@bhorwith22
renewed interest in Stargate Universe? I doubt it as the Stargate movie sequels would ignore the entire tv franchise, I remember reading that in an interview with Roland before
