Critics were never particularly favorably to the paintings about terrifying disasters, shot by Roland Emmerich. However, it is necessary to admit that the "Independence Day" is almost unanimously recognized as one of the films, who revealed the Talent Will Smith and helped him gain thousands of fans. Unfortunately, the tape sequel should not boast of tape. And his director did not come up with nothing better than blaming the failure of the "suicide detachment".
In an interview with Yahoo Movies, Emmerich stated that "just wanted to make a film exactly as the first." It is logical that Smith was assigned to a significant role in it, but all the plans went to the rush, when the actor decided to focus on participating in the "suicide detachment" in the mid-shooting. His desire to play Deadshot forced the director to revise the plot of "Renaissance" and make the central character of the son of the son of the hero of Smith.
Emmerich himself admits that "she had to stop shooting the film", since the original scenario was at times better than the one that eventually had to develop scripts in the rush.
I had to just say no, because it suddenly it turned out that I was doing what was always criticized. Sikvel,
- summarized his revelation director.
The continuation of the "Independence Day" was a real failure and financially, gathering only about $ 390 million at a budget of 165 million in the global box. By the way, this failure becomes especially offensive because of the fact that the "suicide detachment" of the turbulent delights did not cause. It turns out that instead of one potentially grand tape, the audience received two mediocre.
As a result, the franchise is almost dead, and everything remains only to wonder how the film "Revival" would have turned out if Smith was not so passionate about the role of comic character.
