The film will be released on May 17, 2013. Emmerich co-wrote the project with Harald Kloser who is also co-producing with Emmerich. Source: Deadline This has been 14 years in the making, but IESB is reporting that 20th Century Fox has locked Will Smith in for two sequels to Independence Day: The plan would be to shoot both films back-to-back.

“It has to be done all CG because I would not know how to shoot this thing in real,” Emmerich said, adding “Probably now all big movies have to be 3-D,” he said. “It’s not only the effect of 3-D, [‘Avatar’ has] just shown that if you do a movie in 3-D, you can ask for more money and that’s the trick.

The new record comes just a few days after the Dec. 21st ruling by the WTO which upheld an earlier ruling that said China was restricting U.S. film, music and book imports. With the ruling of the WTO, Hollywood knows they they have a better chance of bringing over more of their movies and other media into mainland China. Bigger box office grosses for Western movies in China is good news for both Hollywood and Chinese consumers who enjoy watching Western movies. Probably not so good news for the Chinese government, however, who continue to want to curb Western influence in their country as much as possible (with Western movies and other media a big target of that).

Director Roland Emmerich (2012) told MTV News that if they end up doing a sequel to Independence Day, he would like for it to take place over the course of two movies: “What we want to do in the next – it’s actually two movies – we want to do a bigger arc,” he explained. “‘Independence Day’ was always like the king who leads his troops into battle against an evil force, and that stays like that.” So the plan is not just one sequel but two. And Emmerich has got a nifty title in mind: “‘ID4-ever,’ Part I and II maybe?” he suggested. Mind you, there’s not yet a script – “There’s an idea,” he said – but he did say that when they move forward Will Smith will most certainly be involved. “The idea is just to continue the story and actually I don’t know how many years ago this was—twelve, thirteen, fourteen years ago—and just continue where it ended.” You can watch MTV’s interview with Emmerich after the jump.

“I think everybody has a defining moment or a defining film who works in this business. It’s the one I think I will be remembered for. I kind of think it would be great to do.” Emmerich also said that one of the reasons why it’s taken so long for a sequel is because he didn’t want to make one while George W. Bush was president. That’s changed now with Barack Obama in office: “In Independence Day, it was about a king who leads his country into a fight against an outside invader. I didn’t want to make that movie during the Bush years. It was not thought that George W. Bush would have made a great king. Now with Obama, it’s another story.” The plot of the sequel will focus on the President and his efforts to lead the country. You can watch a video of the roundtable after the jump.
