Wasn't there supposed to be a sequel to the 1997 movie "Independence Day"? Seemed like it had possibilities.

I actually heard there was meant to be one yes. I wonder wat eva happened to that idea?

I would love to see a movie a sequal but I dont' know how they could, I mean it would be the samething take out the mother ship bla bla bla..maybe we shouldn't have a sequal.

i don't know.

i really liked the film.
if they do make it i'm definitely gonna watch it.

I think that there was a series of books based on the movie so it wouldn't be as if they didn't have any material to base a sequal on. but i've never read them so i have no idea if their premise was any good.

really?

what were the books called?
do you know the author???

imported_Sandman · 6th August 2001, 10:20 PM

No, sorry. I just remember seeing them in the stores shortly after the film's release. One was a prequal if i remember correctly, but that doesn't really make sense, does it? I mean what could possibly happen in a prequal? Maybe i'm delusional. But i swear i remember that--even in hardcover, i think. Check Amazon.com perhaps.

will do!

thanks for the info.

This really irritated me and i just had to see if i was imagining it all. This is what i found.
Independence Day: War In the Desert by Dean Devlin, Stephen Molstad.
And then there was the 'based on the major motion picture' novelization.
I have a feeling i was wrong about the prequal, which is a good thing, i think.
so maybe there wasn't a series.

Well the only thing you would get me to come see the Sequal to Independence Day is if they had the same characters and same actress and actors play the same parts

Jeff Goldblum:naughty:

But you can't have Jeff Goldblum if you don't have Will Smith, lol cause they both were just so great.
