(Cover) - EN Movies - Independence Day director Roland Emmerich says the sequels will be a “continuation” of the original.

The first film starred Will Smith as USMC Captain Steven Hiller, who fought aliens who had invaded earth.

Now Emmerich has revealed what can be expected from the upcoming sequels.

“It won’t actually be two single sequels, but the continuation of Independence Day which will be called ID Forever - Part 1 and ID Forever – Part 2,” he revealed to Filmstarts.

Emmerich added the new pictures are likely to be released in 3D, as Fox Studios are funding them.

Although the studio is very successful with 3D releases, Emmerich prefers his movies to be two dimensional.

"My opening line was: 'I really don’t like 3D. So do whatever you want, but run it by me,’” he confessed. "Have you ever taken magic mushrooms? It feels a little bit like that."

Emmerich is currently filming his latest offering White House.
