The guys at Latino Review have an interview with Roland Emmerich highlighting the possibilities of a sequel and Emmerich is quoted as saying there is a story and a script that they have taken to FOX and Will Smith is in but FOX are stalling as they can’t work out a deal to incorporate all the big names of Smith, Dean Devlin and Emmerich.
Interesting news then as the original was the film released way back in 1996 that i remember being one of the biggest Summer films of all time and the biggest, most jaw dropping special FX i had ever seen, shame the films second half was pants when it stepped away from something that could have been very very dark.
With the likely success of 2012 about to hit our cinemas and with Emmerich likely to want to destroy Earth in another FX ridden way I’m sure FOX will start opening it’s cheque book soon and writing a blank one to get a sequel on the move.
So a sequel without Will Smith? could it be done? i personally think they should go without Will Smith as there isn’t anything they could add to the story of the original as everything is destroyed and there wouldn’t be anything cool for the aliens to blow up second time round! unless they wanted to go to the aliens home planet to get revenge but we were millions of years behind in technology so we would be destroyed with ease.
What do you guys think? will it happen or is this just another wish list film?
