  • What the world needs now is…a sequel to ‘Independence Day’?

    Dean Devlin and Roland Emmerich want to continue the story of ID4...

    July 15, 2012

    When I was a kid, I loved ‘Independence Day’. Now…not so much. It’s silly and has a nostalgic quality to it, but I don’t consider it to be an especially “good” movie anymore. Well, godfathers of the film Dean Devlin and Roland Emmerich are banking on my opinion being in the minority, since according to The Hollywood Reporter (here) they’re ready to make a sequel. After the jump you can see what else they have planned, but really folks…do any of you actually want to see this? Am I wrong? Well, either way check out what other project of theirs they want to revisit (and no, it’s not ‘Godzilla’) below…you probably won’t be surprised.

    Apparently Devlin and Emmerich also wants to make another ‘Stargate’ picture as well, and that’s one I can get behind. There are more ideas to play with there, and at least that doesn’t seem like an outright money grab. Presumably we’ll wind up with at least one of these sequels coming to fruition, so feel free to voice your opinion on which one you’d prefer to see. I know where I stand…

    About Joey Magidson


    When he’s not obsessing over new Oscar predictions on a weekly basis, Joey is seeing between 200 and 300 movies a year. He views the best in order to properly analyze the awards race/season each year, but he also watches the worst for reasons he mostly sums up as "so you all don't have to". In his spare time, you can usually find him complaining about the Jets or the Mets. Still, he lives and dies by film. Joey's a voting member of the Internet Film Critics Association as well. Today the IFCA, tomorrow the world!

    1. I’d rather another Stargate, but I guess we’ll end up seeing both…

    4. Agreed on the nostalgic qualities of the original. My biggest problem was, as a drug and alcohol counsellor, the ease at which a person with an addiction to alcohol such as Randy Quaid’s character! But back when I was young and naive and the film fist came out, I really liked it. But now, it’s really quite dated and has not aged well.
