Bill Pullman Offers An Update On INDEPENDENCE DAY 2
While chatting about his upcoming role as The President on the TV show 1600 Penn, actor Bill Pullman talked about the status of Independence Day 2, and said there is a contingency plan in case Will Smith decides not to do the film.
One of the sticking points with getting the film made is whether Smith will do it or not. He has expressed some interest on returning to the role of Captain Steven Hiller, but if he doesn't Pullman said there is a back up plan. "“The Will Smith part of it may be ongoing but I think there’s strategies for both. I like what I have to do in both of them. I’m not in an old age home in a wheelchair being wheeled out for one more moment. It’s a very interesting conception of what happens to Whitmore between then and when it picks back up," he explained. So even if Smith decides not to do it, there is a chance that the project could move forward.
With all of this being said though, the sequel has had trouble getting off the ground. Being a realist, Pullman is not holding his breath because the project is as he called it, "plagued." It is however, encouraging to hear that it does not all fall on whether or not Will Smith wants to do the film. For the latest on all Scifi Movies make sure to check back here at CBM.
