Roland Emmerich
Over $ 800 million Roland Emmerich’s “Independence Day” was recorded. It is almost a miracle that the aliens of the film took a full 20 years to haunt the earth again. In Weekend magazine stated the star director why
In “Independence Day 2″ it says on the spaceship of aliens. It’s even bigger than the first. Was that the sentence with which you have donors presented the film?
Nope, not at all. Honest. Their main concern was whether to continue after 20 years working. And I said. This is just work well, because so much time has passed – because we can show a whole new world now, in a new generation with the events of 1996, grew up
How many requests for sequels there was in the last 20 years?
Countless. It went off at once, two or three weeks after the start. But since I have played for time and always said: Let’s wait times. Around the turn of the millennium is suddenly the Will Smith appeared and shouted, “I’ve got it! We make Independence Day: Ground War ‘. Everything happens underground “
Your Answer
was my answer!?! Ähhhhhh – no
The fact that you are not in the U wanted to do Bahn, but is not the reason why Will Smith is now not there.
No. When I decided for “Independence Day 2″ have Dean Devlin, the author, and I first met up with Will and tell him what we want to write. When asked if he is, he just said: Awesome! Wonderful! Then it took another two years before we had time. He had just turned with his own son “After Earth”. And our two screenplays had provided for him a very similar father-son conflict. And as Will said, I think your film, I do not turn. It was probably a bit of arrogance that he thought at the time, he now makes his own science fiction series. He was also a bit cranky at that time, because that is not as well run with “Men in Black 3″; the shooting was probably super hard
And
My first thought was:.? Okay, that’s it. But all around me, and the studio Fox, were of the opinion: Will that time was great, but it’s not just about him, the film is greater than the I then used again for almost two years, until I myself. have a “Let’s do it” struggled through. Then I have two screenwriters taken. They have inspired me again. We sat down together for one week, and in which we have actually invented everything we now see in the film. Many images we could take over from the old scripts. After the two had two weeks time to write everything down. After four weeks, we submitted it, and that was the trigger for the production.
Compared to the first “Independence Day” and more women and more Asians are this time to see. If the first reaction to the so-called Bechdel test for misogynistic cinema and the second a
on the Asian market? Absolutely. In “2012″ we made it quite innocently and Asia mitbedient unconsciously. Since we have been pretty lucky, because I thought anyway: If humanity secures with gigantic arks to the doomsday, then you build the course somewhere in China, in Nepal, the Himalayas, where there are high mountains and nobody what mitbekommt , But this time I said the same: “The Chinese have to play a major role.” In two, three years, the Chinese film industry is as large as the American. It is unbelievable what is happening.
And the female roles? Even the female US president you anticipate
I’m older and have more and more the feeling. When one makes such great movies, you have to look around what is important in society. For me it was important to have an American president.
And it was very important for me that there is a gay couple. Those were things that I just checked that. Just be aware that it does not affect checked, but organically fits into the film.
Is it true that Will Smith as a black protagonist in the first “Independence Day” still difficult was to enforce?
Yes, Fox wanted to not have. However, did not want Jeff Goldblum have
I had gone with three actors in the negotiations that all wanted to participate. Will Smith, Jeff Goldblum, Kevin Spacey. And at the end of Fox CEO Peter Chernin told me on the phone: “. You get two out of three” (Two of your three, you can search for you.) Jeff Goldblum was absolutely irreplaceable, Will Smith was not replaceable. So I had me a new president looking for.
Kevin Spacey could have been President so already 18 years ago, “House of Cards”?
Exactly! I have seen in Kevin Spacey first the material for President. He has already then looked relatively old; since he has not changed much. At that time we thought of him because our author Dean Devlin was once his roommate.
The first part of the aliens were mechanically, now they come out of the computer. What’s more fun
The design comes from Patrick Tatopoulos?; We could not decide: Are we doing little or monstrous monster? At the end we did both: small gray monster in a massive biomechanical suit. A relatively ingenious idea, very unique. At that time all were still dolls, we had mechanical tentacles, separate alien feet, a complete alien that you could carry around, and then little dolls that could move against blue screen with blue bars.
Did you have nostalgic memories of the puppet or not intoxicate the possibilities of digital presence?
intoxicating, but I’m happy. In “Independence Day” I was frustrated by the technology. The only thing that had impressed me: We have then the one already made two completely resulting in the computer settings. That one could make different images on the computer to one that has impressed me astray. It was a relief when I then less and less able to work on the computer through the years with models and more. You get used to the fact that everything is possible. Today, I share to the film in different companies, and filled the effects like film rolls. The New Zealanders are good for large creatures, the little creatures do people who also “District 9″ have turned. In disaster and fire scenes Scanline VFX are the top, with whom we have already made “2012″. So one imagines the troops together
The central image in “Independence Day 2″ is the mesh falling entire cities -. By alien gravity. Have you played with alternative destruction ideas?
That was the first idea I had. It has occurred to me on the set of “2012″, and my friends and colleagues I said immediately: “. People, we need a new, Independence Day ‘rotate’ Everyone wanted to know how I want to beat the first part yet, and there I said: the alien ship is as big as the Atlantic, tearing with its own gravitational force Asian cities up and letting it crash into Europe’s major cities. Everyone agreed: That’s big! There was the image never an alternative
Did you annoyed that in. “Marvel’s Avengers: Age of Ultron”? Already a city of the earth’s crust shelled and destroyed
That annoys me anyway. That gave me the Steven Spielberg predicts: “You have invented what is now plundered for 20 years. Wait and see. “He predicted that, surprisingly. But it has happened exactly. In every other movie today goes much too broken, and very often put the aliens behind. And all assume our ironic storytelling.
“Batman vs. Superman “and” Captain America “run just two comic blockbuster that address their own destruction orgies as dangerous collateral damage. Such self-reflexive conscience are foreign to you – or
I do not have to apologize?. It’s a movie. That’s what I just said in Dubai: The city is still; last night I slept in it yet!
I would like to examine the final three gossip spreads the error-prone Fachportal imdb.com about you. Is it true that you have tried unsuccessfully to the director of “Transformers”?
It was offered to me, but I said ‘no’.
Owe your Hollywood career Sylvester Stallone’s enthusiasm for your movie “Moon 44″?
No, that was Mario Kassar. The saw “Moon 44″ and hired me.
And was her pay for “Independence Day with” 7.5 million dollars for “2012″ but then $ 70 million?
No. I have with “Independence Day” made more money than with “2012″.
