Bill Pullman plays the president in the new NBC comedy “1600 Penn.” We got to interview him at the Television Critics Association party for NBC, and he said a sequel to Independence Day could begin filming within a year. We know, we know, they keep talking about Independence Day 2 and even when Will Smith says he’d do it, it doesn’t happen. Pullman said director Roland Emmerich and producer Dean Devlin has a plan, even if his new show becomes a massive hit.
hard to believe it came out like 16 years ago.
sure, it was cheesy, a bit gung ho, some not very three dimensional characters, everything that makes a bad movie usually, but damn, put those elements together just right, and you can get magic in a bottle.
let's hope they can recapture some of that magic.
nobody does end of the world movies like Devlin and Emmerich.
