Here’s What the Independence Day Sequels (Yes, That’s Sequels, Plural) Will Be About

by Rebecca Pahle | 11:08 am, March 27th, 2013

Director Roland Emmerich knows that the world doesn’t need an Independence Day sequel. It needs two Independence Day sequels. Luckily, he’s all too willing to provide, and he’s given us some info on what ID Forever Part One and ID Forever Part Two (yes, those are their titles. I refuse to say anything good about them, even sarcastically) will be about.

I’m not saying it’s aliens. But it’s aliens.

Fact From the Vapor of Nuance

Bill Pullman Says Independence Day Can Go Without Will Smith; Jurassic Park to Hit 3D Imax… Is it 1993?

by Susana Polo | 4:16 pm, January 9th, 2013

Ok, so we all know that Jurassic Park is coming back to theaters in three months, for its (brace yourself) twentieth anniversary? Yes? Good. It’s not the only film that’s looking to cash in on moviegoer nostalgia. On the far side of the “probably going to happen” spectrum is the ever rumored Independence Day 2, which at least one actor thinks will be okay without one of its original stars.

Independence Day Writer Gave The Studio Back Their Money The First Time He Tried To Write A Sequel

by Jill Pantozzi | 4:00 pm, July 29th, 2012

When we first heard about an Independence Day sequel we weren’t really sure how we felt except to say it had to have Jeff Goldblum attached to star. Well producer/writer of the original, Dean Devlin, is still working on the script but it turns out he tried once and was so disappointed with it he gave the studio back their money. Find out exactly how that went down plus some new details on Independence Day 2 and whether or not Will Smith will be along for the ride.

Kick the tires and light the fires, there’s a possibility we’re getting not one but two Independence Day sequels. I don’t care what happens as long as they have Jeff Goldblum attached.

For great justice

This Guy Walked Around NYC Reciting the ID4 Speech — For America [Video]

by Jamie Frevele | 5:45 pm, July 6th, 2011

Funkanomics Comedy sent its own Sean Kleier out into the streets to deliver the triumphant pre-battle speech originally given by Bill Pullman in Independence Day. And like a demented, patriotic evangelist, Kleier hit various locations throughout New York City — the subway and a Subway — to inspire and possibly piss off everyone who never wanted to listen in the first place. But you know what? They were probably ready to fly a plane into a spaceship by the end of the speech. How could you not be?

Now, can he please go around doing the “I’m Afraid, Dave” speech from 2001: A Space Odyssey? That would be nuts.

If the US Had Been Founded By the Characters from Independence Day, As Told By Garden Gnome Mr. T

If you’ve ever wondered what Will Smith, Jeff Goldblum, and Bill Pullman would act like as Founding Fathers, now you (kind of) have your answer, courtesy of this video featuring them all as bric-a-brac characters. At one point there are salt-shaker Daleks, and from now on we shall call this day “Exploded British Day.”

The Real Story of Independence Day

by Susana Polo | 11:32 am, July 4th, 2011

Most of you will be familiar with the award winning documentary Independence Day, featuring the talent of Agent J, Ian Malcolm, Lone Starr, President Laura Roslin, Data, Randy Quaid, and more.

But Independence Day, for reasons of national security, could not be completed, at the time, as a completely accurate portrayal of the events of July 4th, 1996. The events of the day have since been unclassified, and we bring you now, the true story.

Admit it, you never really bought that an alien civilization could be brought down by a virus from a power book anyway.
