- INDEPENDENCE DAY SEQUEL
It always seemed inevitable that Independence Day would have
a sequel. However fans that have been calling for it, have been waiting for it
to get made for a very long time, but according to producer Dean Devlin, we
might not have to wait to much longer for it to arrive.
"I hope so," says Devlin of the possibility of a
sequel. "I can't say that it's going to happen, but I can say for the
first time that for the first time in eleven years, Roland Emmerich and I are
working together."
"There are a lot of moving pieces that are coming
together," he continues. "I don't know if it will come together, but
we want it to happen. This is the first time since we made the original that
Roland and I are excited about doing it and feeling like we have the right idea
and we have our fingers crossed."
An Independence Day sequel has long been rumoured, but
according to Devlin, he and Emmerich have only now come up with an idea that
could do justice to the original film.
"Over the years everyone has always asked us about
it," he says. "We never wanted to do it unless it felt germane to the
story. In fact, 10 years ago I was hired to write a sequel to Independence Day
and they paid me a lot of money. After I finished the script, I gave the money
back and I said, 'Don't even read the script. The script is okay, but we can't
make an okay sequel to Independence Day. The fans deserve better than
this.'"
"And I really decided then that I was never going to do
a sequel. Until about a year and a half ago when Roland called me up and said,
'Let's try again.' So we went out to Palm Springs and we cracked it. We said,
'That's a real sequel. That's a sequel that makes sense to do. That's a sequel
that won't disappoint the fans. That one feels like we always intended to do
that in the first place.' So I want it to happen. I don't know if it will."
Independece Day has been given the 3D treatment as it will
be re-released in th 3D format in July 2013. So you can look forward to that.
