Director Roland Emmerich has told The Playlist that there are currently two versions of the script for the upcoming sequel to Independence Day out there - one featuring Will Smith's Steve Hiller, and one not, as he still isn't sure if Smith will return.
Jeff Goldblum and Bill Pullman are expected back, however (and if rumours are to be believed Michael B Jordan will appear as an adult version of Hiller's step-son), and despite Emmerich describing the process as a "daily battle", he claims that the movie is "looking good."
Probably adding "It's clearly 'Earth' not 'Earf', idiots!" [Citation Required]
In a - frankly bizarre - manner, Emmerich also said that he'd scrapped plans to film two sequels back-to-back, instead having only the one film planned: "I thought about spending four years of my life on one movie and I didn't want to turn into something from the movie," said Emmerich. "It's a movie about aliens, I don't want to turn into an alien."
Who does?
Independence Day 2 is expected in 2015.
