According to
Cinema Blend, director Ronald Emmerich planned to resurrect the
ID4 franchise with a sequel, which was inspired partly by President Obama! However, Emmerich talked with MTV recently and said that he was planning to make possibly more than one
Independence Day sequel.
He stated, "What we want to do in the next, is actaully two movies-- we want to do a bigger arc..."
What will the arc be about? How is this going to happen? What story can be told?! Give me some answers Ronny!!
Emmerich told Cinemablend that he saw Independence Day as a story of a king leading his country against an invader. It appears he will continue this theme.
"The idea is just to continue the story and actually I don't know how many years ago this was-- twelve, thirteen, fourteen years ago-- and just continue where it ended."
So, the plot is definitely going to be the same, but what about the title of the film? When asked about the title of the sequel, Emmerich suggested, "ID4-ever. Part I and Part II maybe? "
I really hope he's joking. He's going to have to do better than that!
