If you are older than 30, the odds are very good that you have been able to watch the sequels to many different movies over the years. For most, the sequel works for the fans, adds to the movie series, but for some it does not always go very well. Then you have the group of movies that goes on for more than two, making a third, fourth and even a fifth movie and for the most part, those are the ones that can kill a career.
The general perception is that movies that are made as the fourth in the series are ones that you might find going straight to DVD. When Independence Day showed up in theaters back in the late 1990’s, it was a one of a kind movie that ended well and gave Will Smith some very good mojo in the movie scene. Liam Hemsworth is a very good actor and has a very long career ahead of him.
He has starred in some of the best movies including The Hunger Games series, The Expendables 2 and Paranoia just to name a few. His career started on the television screen with Home and Away back in 2007 and he has been busy ever since then. Lately, he has been working on a couple of movies that are in post production right now, but the one that is getting the attention of movie fans is Independence 2, which he happens to be currently filming.
In the movie, Liam Hemsworth will be playing Jake Morrison and even though most that loved the first one are going to be wondering how this continues without Will Smith, it looks like Liam Hemsworth is not worried about that part of it. The sequel to the classic original has been talked about for a long time now and the attacks on the United States in 2001 sparked motivation in the film’s producer to push the movie even more. When a sequel for a popular movie is made, there is always a hard eye on it to be sure it follows a similar story line.
That may not be that easy since the original came out more than 17 years ago. This means that most of us will remember the original, but the crowd that follows Liam Hemsworth, might not have ever even saw it. That presents an issue for the producer and can really be what makes or breaks the movie. According to a few sources online, the fact that Will Smith is not going to be in the movie is not going to bother fans of the original. According to a one of the actors that is cast, the movie will be considered a sequel to the original, but it is a “standalone” movie.
