Source: scifiwire.com
There’s a tantalizing rumor out there that Fox is ready to go forward with not one, but two sequels to 1996’s megahit sci-fi movie Independence Day, with star Will Smith locked for both.
That’s the report on IESB.net:
IESB has received a tip 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 sequel(s) could shoot as early as 2011.
