Here’s the latest scoop on the sequel buzz spreading across Hollywood:
Independence Day: If I didn’t know any better, I’d say Roland Emmerich flat out hates this planet. The director of The Day After Tomorrow and and 2012 is now talking about a follow-up to his 1996 hit, Independence Day. Emmerich says his proposed idea would see vets Will Smith (another lover of sequels) and Bill Pullman years after the first disaster. “One day we will do it,” Roland claimed.

While studio execs at Disney may forge ahead without Johnny Depp for the fifth and sixth Pirates of the Caribbean films, they’ll definitely be paying a hefty amount to have him in the latest sequel of the franchise.
Reportedly commanding a minimum of $35 million, Depp would shoot to the top of the highest-paid actors list, placing him above the likes of Tom Cruise, Tom Hanks, and Mel Gibson, who ask for around $30 million (Depp received $25 million for the last Pirates sequel).
Yes, the Pirates of the Caribbean movies have dominated at the box office; however, higher-ups usually aren’t known to shell out $35 million paychecks, so what gives?

Tom Cruise on a Mission to Cast Katie Holmes
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Paramount, Action, Sequels, Casting, Celeb News, Celebrity Gossip, Rumors, Upcoming Releases
Tom Cruise wants Katie Holmes to play a villain in the next Mission: Impossible movie.
The actor - who stars as spy Ethan Hunt in the action franchise - is desperate to work with his wife and believes an evil part for her in the fourth film would be perfect because he doesn’t want them to play a couple on screen.
“Tom is very excited about taking Mission: Impossible in a new direction and he sees Katie as a big part of that,” a source said. “They have wanted to work together for a while now but the idea of being a couple on screen in a romantic comedy is a bit dull. This might give them a chance to have some fun both as a couple and as hero and villainess.”
Katie - who has a three-year-old daughter, Suri, with Tom - recently admitted she loves bringing her home life into her acting roles. “In my own life, my whole world really revolves around my family. I do what I need to do, but it’s like, ‘How is everybody else doing?’ And it’s wonderful for me as an actress to put some of that into a character,” Holmes said.

Jamie Campbell Bower and Robert Pattinson apparently have two different visions for the Breaking Dawn adaptation.
In a recent interview, New Moon‘s Bower said would love to see his Sweeney Todd boss, Tim Burton, behind the camera for the fourth installment. “I think he’d just change it up. I think he’d screw around with it quite a lot, and aesthetically, I think it’d be incredibly different,” Jamie said. But which direction would Pattinson like to see the film go?

First Look: 30 Days of Night Sequel
Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Adaptation, Horror, Independent, Sequels, Thrillers, Casting, Filmmaking, Upcoming Releases
The first image from the 30 Days of Night sequel, Dark Days, is out and fails to make an impression on me.
Kiele Sanchez replaces Melissa George as our heroine, Stella Oleson, wielding a particularly large knife. While the movie may be a direct adaptation of its graphic novel origin, this photograph recalls the typical Friday the 13th cinematography.
A fan of the novel, I’m hoping that more images say otherwise. I’m still not buying Sanchez’s portrayal, either.

Bill Nighy’s Vocal Appeal
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Animation, Family, Casting, Celebrity Gossip
Bill Nighy‘s director criticized him for using funny voices.
The actor voices Dr. Elefun in animated movie Astro Boy and admits he was reprimanded for experimenting with different vocal sounds when looking for an identity for the character.
“You just go with your own instincts. In this case, I came in with a lot of funny voices, and I did them for a while. And then Dave Bowers, the director, after a suitable time had passed, said, ‘Please, could you stop doing that now?’ I said, ‘Oh, all right.’ He said, ‘Your voice is what we wanted,’” he said. “I’m not being naïve or coy or modest, or anything. But I always forget, and - you know, you never think of your voice like that. You just think, ‘Oh, well, it’s my voice.’ I don’t think about my voice until somebody mentions it. But I’m please if people do like it.”
Meanwhile, Bill is hoping to reprise his role of Davy Jones in the fourth Pirates of the Caribbean movie.
“I hope so. I really do. I mean, I met Geoffrey Rush the other day, and he and I were both saying - we had a wonderful time, not least, with him, because he’s such a nice man, and such a good actor. We’d love to be in it,” he told Dark Horizons. “I’d love to be in it. I’d love to be in Pirates, because it was a great experience to be in the first lot. And - you know, those movies are beloved. It’s nice to make people happy.”
