gosia Posted May 31, 2012 Report Share Posted May 31, 2012 Independence Day is returning to theaters on July 3, 2013 with a full 3D post-conversion, 20th Century Fox revealed today. The original film, released in 1996, starred Will Smith, Bill Pullman, Jeff Goldblum and Randy Quaid and was directed by Roland Emmerich with a screenplay by Emmerich and Dean Devlin. A loose re-telling of H.G. Wells' "The War of the Worlds," the sci-fi actioner grossed over $800 million worldwide. Rumors of a sequel have persisted ever since the original film's release, but over the years, nothing solid has materialized. Still, with Men in Black 3 a box office hit 15 fifteen years after the original, ID4's 3D re-release could potentially also serve as way of gauging viewer interest in a second big screen invasion. The July 3rd release date puts Independence Day 3D up against Universal Pictures' Despicable Me 2.http://www.deadline.com/2012/05/fox-sets-3d-independence-day-for-2014-along-with-robopocalypse-x-men-and-planet-of-the-apes-sequels/http://www.comingsoon.net/news/movienews.php?id=90887Well, I'd rather see this then a sequel.

Ale Posted May 31, 2012 Report Share Posted May 31, 2012 So does this mean there will be 2 Will Smith movies on theaters at the same time? Cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jazzy Julie Posted June 1, 2012 Report Share Posted June 1, 2012 OH HELL YES! I was just thinking to myself that they should release MIB in 3D but this is an even better idea. I went to see titanic in 3D and i have never seen such big queues at the cinema before, i hope that happens for ID4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Da Brakes Posted June 1, 2012 Report Share Posted June 1, 2012 I think this is a really good idea... I'd go and see it again! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silver Tiger Posted June 1, 2012 Report Share Posted June 1, 2012 I'd probably see it again. I'm not expecting great use of 3D though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VIsqo Posted June 1, 2012 Report Share Posted June 1, 2012 I think that for such a Big movie they will get plenty of use for the 3d and they will make it big. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members BWS.com Posted June 1, 2012 Members Report Share Posted June 1, 2012 I think this will be good... maybe they bring the second movie direct after this "remake"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well they've got time to do a decent conversion, but movies filmed in 3D will always look better than those converted after the fact.

Members BWS.com Posted June 2, 2012 Members Report Share Posted June 2, 2012 If they bring this story what Emmerich and his writer made for... why not. Smith as General wuild be great :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ale Posted June 2, 2012 Report Share Posted June 2, 2012 (edited) If they bring this story what Emmerich and his writer made for... why not. Smith as General wuild be great :D IMO, they'd just make the sequel just for the sake of making more money. The whole story has been told, it's like if they made a sequel to 'Titanic', it just doesn't make any sense, at least to me. Plus, Will said recently in this interview that he wouldn't be part of it:http://collider.com/...terview/165980/ I think re-releasing the movie in theaters in 3D is the best thing they could do.

fan 4ever Posted June 2, 2012 Report Share Posted June 2, 2012 Good news! It will be great watching ID4 in 3D. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JumpinJack AJ Posted June 6, 2012 Report Share Posted June 6, 2012 I love this idea. It makes perfect sense! It's a modern day classic and it's the movie that defined "WILL SMITH, THE ACTOR." I remember seeing the midnight showing back in 1996. I'd definetly see it again. No question about it! ...and as I've said for years, there's no reason to make a sequel. There's no relevant way to revisit these characters and have them be attacked by aliens AGAIN. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
