Revenge of the Aliens

Been waitin’ for a sequel to 1996’s Independence Day?

Well then, the wait is almost over.

Director Roland Emmerich has revealed that he has come up with a two-part follow-up to the Will Smith blockbuster, ID Forever Part 1 and ID Forever Part 2.

And his proposed plot sounds awesome.

Although the script is currently undergoing a rewrite, the story would be set 20 years after the events of the original, with a second wave of aliens arriving on Earth to aid the first group, which was last seen in crippling distress. Chalk up their perceived delay to spatial travel. And their surprise to discovering that humans are exponentially better equipped to fend them off to the fact that scientists have harnessed the alien tech left behind, just in case the mofos decided to come back.

Now, as far as the cast is concerned, Bill Pullman is definitely on board, but Emmerich is reportedly not keen on calling Smith back to open another can of whoopass on them aliens. The star, he says, has just gotten way too big.

Oh, c’mon, guy – give the man a cameo.

You can even kill him at the halfway point of the movies. Think about the tragic-cliffhanger opportunity.

Hello, Writers Guild of America? Does that count as a contribution? Can I get my card and some insurance now?
