Emmerich On ID4 Sequels

Making the rounds for "White House Down," director Roland Emmerich confirms that Will Smith will NOT be returning for the upcoming ID Forever Part I and ID Forever Part II.


Emmerich tells The NY Daily News: "Will Smith can not come back because he's too expensive, but he'd also be too much of a marquee name. It would be too much."

He added: "We have like maybe half of the people that you know would know from the first film (in the script) and the other half people who are new."

He promises that they're doing something different from what you might expect: "We're not doing a total reboot, we're doing something that's totally unusual."

Screenwriter James Vanderbilt ("The Amazing Spider-Man," "Zodiac") is currently at work on a polish of Emmerich and Dean Devlin's script for the second film.

Fox is targeting a July 3rd 2015 release for the first part
