While the sequels to his 1996 film Independence Day are likely his most-anticipated projects, director Roland Emmerich has a number of other ideas planned for his upcoming schedule. In addition to the two-part sequel, Emmerich recently talked about his slimmed-down script for the sci-fi pic, Singularity, as well as an adaptation of Isaac Asimov's Foundation planned for the small screen. Bad news on the Asteroids front as Emmerich's plate is too full to take on that particular Lorenzo di Bonaventura-produced project. Hit the jump for more on what Emmerich has coming up. In a recent interview with Empire, Emmerich talked at length about his future projects. On the issue of the two-part Independence Day sequel, it looks like Emmerich will take the costlier route of filming the first part before moving on to its conclusion: "We'll only do the first part, because we want to have the audience decide if they want to see the second, otherwise it feels arrogant. But I'm pretty confident, with the right script..." Although the studio has set the film's opening for July 3, 2015, but Emmerich expounds on the behind-the-scenes business of release dates: "You have to set a release date otherwise another film moves into it, [but] Independence Day is my next movie, if I get the right script. I should get the script pretty soon, then I'll try to get it into good shape for one or two months, and if that happens, we'll announce it and start production."
