Independence Day 2 and 3!?
None
IESB.com is reporting that Will Smith has signed up for two ID4 sequels, to be filmed back to back
According to IESB.com , Will Smith has signed a deal with 20th Century Fox to make two Independence Day sequels that would be shot back-to-back, with Roland Emmerich once again calling the shots (and trying to think up new world landmarks to destroy)
The site reckons that: “Will Smith is now locked for not only Independence Day 2 , but also a third installment. The plan would be to shoot both films back-to-back. Whether the studio opts to go the Matrix route and release the two films six months apart or do like the Pirates Of The Caribbean sequels and split them by a year remains to be seen. According to our sources, if all goes according to plan, the sequels could shoot as early as 2011.”
