Report: Last Century Fox Wants Will Cruz in order to save Movies Plans Two 'Independence Day' Sequels

Thanks for visiting Earth. Around the heels from the news that Warner Bros. might create a follow up to 'Dumb & Dumber' 17 years following the original film, Vulture reviews that twentieth century Fox is hot on the thought of back-to-back sequels towards the 1996 blockbuster 'Independence Day,' without or with Will Cruz at the forefront. Ideally with. The skinny: Fox continues to be looking to get Cruz onboard for that sequels since 2009, however the discussions hit a snag once the world's greatest star required $50 million in salary. (Hear hear for that 1 %!) 2 yrs later, using the scripts apparently set hitting Fox prior to the finish of 2011, the parties are speaking again hoping that something works out. Whether it does not, however, the studio will probably still proceed with the flicks in the end, 'Independence Day' made Will Cruz a celebrity, and also you could reason that it had not been reciprocal at that time. Obviously, as Vulture highlights, possibly the studio must do all it may to obtain Cruz to kick alien ass once more. Box office figures are stagnant, even though it is a leap to express like Cruz has not designed a "Will Cruz Blockbuster" since 'Hancock' in 2008, the stats are striking. As Vulture notes, between 2005 and 2008, Cruz starred in five films, whose box-office grosses capped $2 billion worldwide. Thinking about ticket sales are lower 4.4 % year-to-date between 2010 and 2011, Hollywood can use just a little Large Willie. Cruz returns to theaters in 2012 with 'Men In Black III,' a production that saw costs rise because of extended delays and script revisions. Anticipation for Fox is the fact that all ducks come in a row prior to going forth with Cruz mounted on 'ID4 2' and '3.'
