(10/5/2010) Hollywood blockbuster star Will Smith has been slated to star as president in the sequel to Independence Day. This second (and third) installment comes approximately 15 years after the original hit, and is sure to make record revenue. Since Obama got into office, I have started the notice the presence of black male actors in the role as president. Not exactly sure if he has anything to do with that, but I think Will Smith will effectively pull this role off just as he has done all the others.

“It’s an alternate reality kind of movie. We pick up the story, what would have happened after this kind of attack?,” Emmerich stated. “Naturally, the alien technology has changed everything.”  Look for the films in 2012 and 2013.
