Dean Devlin Had a chat with The Hollywood Reporter and he had a lot of interesting stuff to say.
Speaking about an Independence Day sequel Dean Devlin told The Hollywood Reporter :
"for the very first time since we did the original, I feel we have a worthy concept, a worthy path to go, ..Whether or not we can make this happen, if we can get all the pieces to come together, that’s gonna be challenging."
"We resisted doing the sequel for years because we still wanted to honor the first one. The first one gave us all careers, and we really love that movie and loved the experience," Devlin explained. "We didn’t want to make a movie because it was financially a good idea, we only wanted to do it when we had an idea and a concept that creatively felt like it honored the first one -- that it felt like an organic sequel as opposed to ‘let’s just go make some more money.'
I feel like we got it," he continued. "I think it took a long time, but I feel like we finally got something that really feels like, 'that’s worth seeing as a sequel to Independence Day.'"
And regarding Stargate he added:
"Stargate has always had this empty hole, When we made the first one, we always intended on doing part two and three, and we were prevented for years. And our hope is that we can get another chance at Stargate and tell the entire story we wanted to tell."
