Rumor: Will Smith Signs On for Independence Day Sequels

"And now, from the people who brought to you Independence Day, proudly introducing... Thanksgiving Day! Coming to a cinema near you!"
EDIT: Waaaait a second... Is Thanksgiving just a day, or celebrated over a longer period of time? Hmm. This begs further investigation. My knowledge of America-specific celebrations and holidays is a little lacking...

I don't know, I quite liked ID but it didn't really strike me as sequel material.
Also making two films back to back doesn't seem like a good idea, because good ideas will be sparse between them. Take a look at the second and third Matrix film, in a philosophical light, and compare it with the first. Eep.

Independence Day was okay, but there's really no way to make a sequel out of it. Guess we'll just have to wait and see.
My friend, you need to see Aliens. NAO!Spacefly said:
OT: I'm not sure, the first one was average at best for me. Do we really need another one?
Will a Mac save life as we know it again? Or will something slightly more realistic occur?

i have to admit i too agree that that speech was probably one of the best speeches ever in movie XD
I'm willing to bet that they go overboard with CGI explosions and the like and it will turn out really cheesy
I have seen it... and to be honest I prefer Independence day...supertoast099 said:
But now that I think about it... I prefer Predator to both of them...
Okay, look, aside from all the other reasons why Independence Day sequels are a bad idea, didn't the original end with all the aliens getting blown the fuck up? Seriously, there aren't any aliens left. They made a major point of telling us that the entire alien race was on the mothership, and the mothership was vaporized at the end of the movie.
And even if there are more aliens, how will they know to attack on the fourth of July again? Because they'd have to do that for the title to make sense.
Speaking of things that don't make sense: the official "abbreviation." ID4. It implies that this was the fourth movie, which it wasn't. (The only other possible explanation is that the movie people thought we didn't know what day the fourth of July happens on, but surely they couldn't be that dense...could they...?)

I can live with the rest of your points, but I have a serious bone to pick with anyone that proclaims point 4:Tiamat666 said:
I'm a programmer, so I know how difficult something like that is;
But it's like people just forget half the plot!
They've had an alien spaceship for 50 years! Does nobody stop and think for a moment that they may actually know how the computer system on that ship works?
Can I write a virus without knowing how a specific computer's architecture functions?
No.
Can I write a virus, then upload it using a different type of computer?
Sure I can!
If you know how the computer system at the other end works, you can create a virus for it, and connect to a network...
Honestly, people who claim this is so incredibly unbelievable can't follow basic plot details, and clearly over-estimate their own knowledge of computing.
Does this make it a likely solution to a problem?
No.
But it's hardly the pants-on-head retarded plotline people seem to think it is.
