He helped save the world! He’s gotta come back!
As rumors of Rolland Emmerich‘s Independence Day sequel circulate, Bill Pullman is trying not to think about what that means for him.
The actor, who played President Thomas J. Whitmore in the 1996 film, does not believe he can revisit the role 14 years later as he would have only served an 8 year term in office.
Pullman says:
“Somebody has been sending me links to conversations Roland’s been having about it and what ideas they have for it. I haven’t talked to him about it but it’s a complicated legal thing getting involved with creative control and it’s an expensive movie.
“I don’t know if it’s a role I’ll revisit, because, in term limits, I think we’ve gone beyond 12 years – but maybe there’s some side of it that he’s angling. He works with writers and they try to find the best idea and I’ve heard a couple of scenarios that would include me and some that wouldn’t so I can’t control it so I don’t think about it.”
It’s a movie! Terms don’t apply!
We’re pulling for Pullman!
