Independence Day 2?

‘Independence Day’ director Roland Emmerich recently spoke about the long rumored Independence Day 2. Here is what he had to say…

“Dean Devlin and I are still set to make a sequel because we’ve found some sort of idea and we approached Fox and Fox has not quite figured out how to incorporate Dean’s and my deal, and Will’s [Smith] deal. Will wants to do it in some sort of a package they can live with. So it’s just been in negotiations now since forever, and naturally Fox says “Why don’t you do it without Will Smith?” I said Will is essential for us, for this movie and actually for the audience too. And, so, it’s in limbo and lately the studios are fighting. Will is a gross player and is probably the only gross player right now who’s worth his gross. So we’ll see what happens. I would love to do it. There’s a very really great story, a very cool one.”
