Roland Emmerich says he hopes to brand an Independence Day iii for Disney+.Independence Day follows mankind'due south battle against a hostile alien invasion, and it featured cutting-border special effects for the time. Emmerich co-wrote the film with Dean Devlin, and it starred Jeff Goldblum, Bill Pullman, Vivica A. Fob, and Will Smith in his star-making role. The movie was released in July of 1996, and it went on to become the highest-grossing moving picture of the year. However, fifty-fifty with all the moving picture'due south success, it all the same took 20 years for a sequel to manifest.

Independence Day: Resurgence was released in 2016 with Emmerich once once more backside the camera. Pullman, Goldblum, and Trick reprised their roles for the sequel, but Smith opted non to return. Smith'southward character was killed off in a line of dialogue, with his only appearance being that of a photo on the wall. The film'due south plot followed mankind as they again detect themselves in a fight against a seemingly insurmountable alien invasion. Resurgence underperformed at the box role, and critics and audiences equally hated it with a xxx% rotten score from both groups on Rotten Tomatoes. A third film had already been planned when Independence 24-hour interval: Resurgence was released, but given its reception, all hereafter plans were canceled. Nonetheless, subsequently Disney acquired 20th Century Fox in 2019, the film rights for Independence Day found themselves at a new home.

When speaking with Comicbook, Emmerich discussed his plans for Independence Twenty-four hours 3. The third picture show would've seen Goldblum and Brent Spiner'south Doctor Okun return for a story that would've been a unique change for the franchise. Emmerich also seemed excited by the opportunity that Disney+ may offering Independence Day with either some other film or even a Tv set serial being possible. While he expresses his passion for the project, he also notes that he would be content if some other filmmaker took the projection on. Check out what Emmerich said beneath:

"They have now a streaming service and they need product. I would love to do possibly a third one, or a TV bear witness, continuing the story. When we did Independence Solar day: Resurgence, we already had, as well, the third part already. And actually, the third role has much more to do with the commencement part, considering we learned, more or less, that out there are a lot of refugees and they're living on a refugee planet. And where [the aliens] finally come there because, somewhat similar these aliens on earth, establish out almost it and telepathically or any gave it to their super queen. They're all humans, but in all different forms. So information technology's this matter that we have Brent Spiner and Jeff Goldblum and nosotros have them with all these dissimilar forms of people, which would be a great movie. But nosotros'll run into what happens."

"It doesn't matter, whoever does it, but I feel very passionate nearly it, very, very passionate, because it was a lilliputian bit like... this moving-picture show single-handedly also got me total liberty. I have concluding cut since then. I pretty much do my own thing. And now, even producing my own films, no studio anymore, I got myself a studio, you know what I hateful? In a very small form, like a little garage studio. Anyway, I feel very, very passionate nearly it considering information technology was my first -- actually, that's why both Stargate and Independence Day are seminal movies for me. They pretty much created all of what I did afterwards."

With the success of Disney+, Emmerich's comments near their need for product band true, and Independence Day could be a good fit for the streaming service. Though, there may be hesitation on their office from the reception of Independence 24-hour interval: Resurgence. They've recently found success with Marvel's alive-action shows, with Loki giving them their biggest premiere yet, and the Star Wars shows, such equally The Mandalorian, go along to do well. So Independence 24-hour interval could fit correct in with that style of prove to find its ain success through Goggle box. Notwithstanding, with the plans already well in place for what a third pic could be, Emmerich may exist able to convince Disney to brand the movie exclusively for their streaming service.

Emmerich's next projection, Moonfall, features some other apocalyptic scenario that sees the Moon knocked from its orbit and sent on a collision course with Earth. Moonfall stars Halle Drupe, Patrick Wilson, and Donald Sutherland, and it's slated for release on Feb 4th, 2022. With Emmerich decorated on other projects and no concrete plans in identify, information technology's tough to say what the future holds for Independence Day . Given Emmerich's enthusiasm for the projection, he's likely to continue pursuing it, and even if he doesn't direct it, he'll likely be involved in some capacity.
