ID5: Dust off Judd Hirsch’s kippah

Ever since Independence Day came out I’ve been trying to think what plot a sequel could have.  You could Ender’s Game it and go to the aliens’ world, although that captured soldier inferred their planet was abandoned.  You could have some sort of Body Snatchers plot where they leave behind a parasite.  You could have a bigger and badder mothership show up that has a firewall…  Yeah, I haven’t come up with any ideas that would be satisfying.   But dammit, I want a sequel to one of the biggest campy kick-ass fests in the past couple decades.

Check out the gaffes list for ID4 on imdb. Hilarity.

Well, that dice looks like it will finally be rolled.  Roland Emmerich and Dean Devlin are in talks to make a follow-up, with the only hitch being Will Smith’s I Am Billionaire contract.

The reason why it took so long is because they, like me, had a tough time coming up with a good story.  E & D say they have finally figured out a sweet one and it’s ready to go.  That’s great and all, but Godzilla, Day After Tomorrow, 10K BC and (likely) 2012 serve to temper expectations that the duo will strike gold again.

Come on guys, you’ve got one more Stargate in ya…
