Speaking to Crave Online<\/em><\/a>, original Independence Day star Bill Pullman delivered an update on the status of master of global disaster Roland Emmerich’s two sequels, Independence Day Forever – Part 1<\/em> and Independence Day Forever – Part 2<\/em>, saying we’ll hear something “<\/em>Within a year, yeah, something like that I guess.<\/p>\n

“I worried about taking this part because it’s heating up,” Pullman added. “I thought, ‘I don’t know if I should do the comedy’ and I talked to Dean [Devlin] and Roland [Emmerich] and they said, “No, do it. We’ll work around it. If it goes, we’ll work around it.”<\/p>\n

With Will Smith so far unconfirmed, Pullman revealed that their are contingencies in place should he not want to return to the world of the 1996 blockbuster.<\/p>\n

“The Will Smith part of it may be ongoing, but I think there’s strategies for both. I like what I have to do in both of them. I’m not in an old age home in a wheelchair being wheeled out for one more moment. It’s a very interesting conception of what happens to Whitmore between then and when it picks back up.<\/p>\n

“Nobody’s holding their breath because it’s been continually plagued,” he finished.<\/p>\n
