Will Smith celebrating two Independence Day sequels?!

Will Smith is a busy dude. Being the most bankable actor on the planet has got to be a hard job, right? Smith’s name has been attached to countless titles over the past few months including OLD BOY, MEN IN BLACK 3, SUSPICION, CITY THAT SAILED and INDEPENDENCE DAY 2 … and INDEPEDENCE DAY 3?!

That’s according to the guys over at IESB, who say ‘a reliable source’ told them not only is INDEPENDENCE DAY 2 on the fast track, but so is INDEPENDENCE DAY 3! But that’s not all! Apparently the flicks will be filmed back-to-back as early as next year and Will Smith has already signed on for both sequels! They also say Roland Emmerich will be back to direct. Well sh*t…

Now before we get all crazy about this news lets take into account that this is just a rumor right now with absolutely no confirmation. Could it be true? IESB cite 20th Century Fox’s recent success with AVATAR as a reason for these flicks getting fast tracked. That would also explain Smith being attached, considering the dude would be getting a truckload of cash for the two flicks I’m sure. But come on … Will Smith signing on for two INDEPENDENCE DAY sequels? The guy isn’t really one for sequels… plus he must have title after title lined up! I’m talking Oscar bait stuff. So could this actually be a possibility? Who knows.

What do you guys think? Could there be some meat to this rumor? If this is the real deal are you along for the ride? How can you not be right? It’s Will Smith. If the dude is in a Summer movie it’s almost like we have to go see it. All I’m saying is they better sign Bill Pullman if they really want the people in the seats! I got your back Eric…. I mean Bill.

Anyway folks, go ahead and let your opinions fly below and be sure to keep it here as we await the news on whether or not this rumor is the real deal!
