Here's a short scoop but a good one to discuss none the less. "INDEPENDENCE DAY" has always been one of my favorites. I'm sure it may be yours as well. It has now been revealed that a sequel has been planned for many years. The production has been in "on-again off-again" mode for quite some time it appears. Now, reports are coming in that the reason it hasn't happened is due to Will Smith's price tag.
The actor simply wants way too much money to star in the film than the studio is willing to pay. Now as I sit here eating my cereal during breakfast and typing away I can't help but think that ANY price tag he could come up with would more than be made up in box office/DVD sales. I'm no economist but don't you think that a sequel to ID4 would be big enough (assuming it wouldn't suck) to bring in enough dough? It is rather puzzling.
I certainly hope they find a way around this. An ID4 sequel would be awesome!
