Rumor has it that 'Independence Day' is coming back!

IESB.net is reporting that Will Smith has signed on for two new installments of what would now be called the Independence Day franchise. Director Roland Emmerich and Dean Devlin were hesitant to come back to this movie, especially since it would have been hard for Fox to pony up Smith's quote, however now it seems like it might be a good idea to get the crew together (did anyone even thank James Cameron?).

Apparently, it's possible that the movies may shoot back to back so they can have a release schedule like Lord of the Rings rather than every two years, which would be good if the movies are decent, and terrible if they turn out to be like The Day After Tomorrow.

Anyway, everyone knows that getting Will Smith on board is a start, but without Judd Hirsh and Bill Pullman back, that movie is going to struggle.
