More than three years have passed since the release of the painting "Independence Day: Rebirth". And viewers around the world are wondering: will there be a sequel? Moreover, the director of the first two parts, Roland Emmerich, back in 2016 in an interview with the Empire publishing house, admitted that he already had ideas about how events would develop further.
Unfortunately, the details of the plot, the names of the actors and the possible release date of the film "Independence Day 3" have not yet been announced, the trailer is also missing.
About the plot
Details of the plot are still unknown. However, R. Emmerich said that the main action of the new film can be transported into the depths of space. In the second part, the heroes learned that the alien invaders who tried to destroy humanity have worthy rivals. These are other alien species with incredible technology and unique knowledge. Earthlings are ready to enter into an alliance with new allies and go on an intergalactic journey to fight a formidable enemy.
About production and filming
According to the latest news from Hollywood, director Roland Emmerich is most interested in creating the third part. In February 2020, in an interview with the Screen Rant news portal, he said that he was ready to start work on a new project. And producer Dean Devlin said that he had no plans to make a new "Independence Day" and broke off relations with the franchise.
Complicating the task is the fact that Walt Disney now owns the rights to the fantastic story, which acquired media holding 21st Century Fox, which released the first two films. The intentions of the new owner regarding the franchise are not yet clear, so now it is even difficult to imagine when the third part of the film "Independence Day" will be released.
