independence Day 3 will be 'an intergalactic journey' says Roland Emmerich

Independence Day Resurgence
He’s on the verge of unleashing his latest blockbuster, Independence Day: Resurgence, and Roland Emmerich is turning his thoughts to apocalypses new. If Resurgence's box-office takings warrant it, a third Independence Day instalment will likely follow. A storyline is already percolating in the writer/director’s mind and will have more than a touch of the Interstellars about it.
"The next one will be an intergalactic journey,” Emmerich tells Empire. "It'll be [set] maybe a year or two later, not 20 years [on]. I want to maintain this group of people, especially the young characters, and Jeff [Goldblum] and Brent [Spiner] will take part in it. It'll be fun to keep that group together.” Would this famously sequel-shy filmmaker hand the reins to another director? Not likely. "Will I definitely direct it? Oh yes. I'd never, ever let someone else do it."
Caution Independence Day: Resurgence spoilers follow.
One of Resurgence’s plot threads sees a benevolent alien race pop up in our orbit with news of a giant space civil war. This conflict, a kind of extra-terrestrial version of Anchorman’s news team fight, has aliens teaming up against the space bastards currently threatening Earth. In a possible third part, humanity will be joining that fight. "I imagine them now going in one of these ships they've rebuilt into a wormhole,” explains Emmerich, adding: "I think it'll be the classic of going into space but it has to be about Earth, and we have a really good idea for that."
Watch this, well, space. In the meantime, look out for Independence Day: Resurgence in UK cinemas from June 23. For plenty more from Emmerich, including his favourite disaster movies, visit his takeover of the Empire website.

The movie “300,” which was released in 2006, is one of the best epic movies of Hollywood. There are very few epic movies, whose sequels are going to be released in future and 300 is also one of them. The 2 nd  part of this movie franchise, 300: Rise of an Empire, was released in 2014 and collected huge profit at box-office. It didn’t collect more than the 1 st  part, but managed to collect large amount at box-office The reason for low collection of this movie might be because the main protagonist, remained alive in the end, while in the 1 st  part, the main protagonist died, or audience didn’t accept the death of Leonidas (Gerard Butler), King of Sparta, and wanted to see him again in the 2 nd  part. The 1 st  part of this movie was based on the comic series, 300, which is written by Frank Miller and Lynn Varley, whereas, the 2 nd  part of this franchise was based on another unreleased novel of Frank Miller, Xerxes. After 2 parts of this movie franchise, audience is waiting f

Stranger Things: M. Night Shyamalan Wants To Direct In Season 2

Well  here's  a plot twist we weren't expecting — though maybe we should have been:  M. Night Shyamalan  — whose new film,  Split , is getting some of his best reviews since  The Sixth Sense  — has expressed an interest in directing episodes of  Stranger Things ' second season. The reason we shouldn't be surprised is that the Duffer Brothers, creators and guiding force of the Netflix series, used to work  for  Shyamalan on the television series  Wayward Pines , which represented their first TV work. While promoting  Split , Shyamalan commented, "My boys who do  Stranger Things , they did  Wayward Pines  for me. They were round my house and I was, like, 'Well, you can hire me back, guys.'" No word on what the Duffers have to say in response. The series is expected to return later this year and will reportedly consist of nine episodes, compared to season one's eight. Elsewhere on the  Stranger Things  news front, Millie Bobby Brown, who pla
