Independence Day: Resurgence
INDEPENDENCE DAY: RESURGENCE (2016) ● Rated PG 13 for sequences of sci fi action and destruction, and for some language ● $165,000,000 budget ● 2 hrs ● Directed by Roland Emmerich ● Produced by Lynn Harris, Matti Leshem, Douglas C. Merrifield ● The film was produced by Columbia Pictures, Sony Pictures QUICK THOUGHTS ● Phil Svitek ● Marisa Serafini ● Demetri Panos ● Sara Stretton DEVELOPMENT ● The possibility of a sequel to Independence Day had long been discussed, and the film's producer and writer, Dean Devlin, once stated that the world's reaction to the September 11 attacks influenced him to strongly consider making a sequel to the film ● Soon after the success of the first film, 20th Century Fox paid Dean Devlin a large sum of money to write a script for a sequel. However, after completing the script, Devlin didn't turn in the script and instead gave the money back to the studio, as he felt the story didn't live up to the first film. It was only approximately 15 years later, that Devlin met up with Roland Emmerich to try again, having felt that they had "cracked" a story for a sequel ● Devlin began writing an outline for a script with Emmerich, but in May 2004, Emmerich said he and Devlin had attempted to "figure out a way how to continue the story", but that this ultimately did not work, and the pair abandoned the idea ● In October 2009, Emmerich said he once again had plans for a sequel, and had since considered the idea of making two sequels to form a trilogy ● On June 24, 2011, Devlin confirmed that he and Emmerich had found an idea for the sequels and had written a treatment for it ● In October 2011, however, discussions for Will Smith returning were halted, due to Fox's refusal to provide the $50 million salary demanded by Smith for the two sequels ● Emmerich, however, made assurances that the films would be shot backtoback, regardless of Smith's involvement ○ Resurgence filmmakers were reported to be preparing versions of the film both with and without Will Smith.

Second, is our collective strength and commitment to teamwork.” About 500 Soldiers will deploy in the coming weeks to lead NATO’s International Security Assistance Force Regional-Command South. The Iron Horse Division will continue to support and enable Afghanistan’s National Security Forces as they conduct security operations to create the necessary conditions that will promote economic development and governance.

BAFTA Awards: “2012” Special Visual Effects Supporting Statement
BAFTA Awards: “2012” Special Visual Effects Supporting Statement When director Roland Emmerich and producer Harald Kloser asked Volker Engel and Marc Weigert to come aboard as Visual Effects Supervisors and Co-Producers on what Emmerich described as a “disaster movie to end all disaster movies”, Engel and Weigert knew they were in for a challenge. Shot entirely in Vancouver and vicinity, virtual land- and cityscapes, including believable depictions of Los Angeles, Yellowstone National Park, Las Vegas, Washington D.C., Rome’s St. Peter’s Square, Tibet and Hawaii had to be created and destroyed via earthquakes, volcanoes and tsunamis. With a visual effects running time of 1:17 hours (about half the film’s length), following are selections from 2012’s overall 1315 visual effects shots: For one of the most challenging sequences, the 120-shot limousine ride during the Los Angeles earthquake, detailed previsualization was created. As it could not be filmed on location, it was almost entirely created digitally, with inserts of actors reacting to the mayhem. The 5-second crane shot shown is completely virtual. Every crumbling house, swaying palm tree, bush, post box, fence, sidewalk, garbage can, and car, including the limousine, was computer generated. For the airport scene introducing the Los Angeles escape, Special Effects Supervisor Mike Vezina built an 8,000 square foot “shaker rig”. When the actors ran towards the Cessna, the ground shook as in an earthquake. For the wide shots, all landscapes, rising shelves and deep fissures were created digitally. After Yellowstone’s initial nuclear-like super-volcano eruption, a dense pyroclastic cloud chases the camper.
