Emmerich & Delvin Chose Will Smith Based on his Performance in ‘Six Degrees of Separation’ Over the last twenty years, a lot has changed.ģ. But I’m doing these kind of movies regularly, so it was not, for me, that different. So when you have to do these things, you have to work a lot of blue screen, you have to have a lot, lot more effects. And there were those kind of movies like Star Wars, which had like maybe sixteen hundred or so, but even they tried to do a lot of that, which were completely built, etcetera. When you look at these movies in the nineties, there were, like, five thousand special effects. In a 2016 interview with Nerd HQ, Emmerich said the special effects for Resurgence still wasn’t easy. The film was also nominated for Best Sound, but lost to Best Picture winner The English Patient. All that hard work paid off though, since ID won the Oscar for Best Visual Effects. By comparison, Independence Day: Resurgence cost $165 million to make in 2016, according to .Įntertainment Weekly reported in 1996 that there were over 3,000 special effects shots in the film. That sounded like a lot then, but if you adjust it for inflation, it’s still only $110.1 million in 2017 dollars. Fox avoided using computer-generated effects to keep the budget down, meaning Independence Day cost “just” $70 million to make. Independence Day was one of the last summer blockbusters to rely mostly on practical effects.

They took the script to 20th Century Fox, which greenlit the movie. They crafted a screenplay where the aliens made a big entrance on earth. He then told Devlin, “I think we have our next movie.”Īs reported in The Making of Independence Day, Devlin said he didn’t like how old alien invasion movies had creatures arriving in isolated back fields. Emmerich said he was interested in aliens coming to earth and asked the reporter to imagine 15-mile-wide spaceships arriving to attack Earth’s most populous cities. As Entertainment Weekly reported in 1996, Emmerich was asked by a reporter if he thought aliens really existed. The idea for Independence Day came to Emmerich and co-writer/producer Dean Devlin while they were promoting 1994’s Stargate in Europe. But wonder turns to terror as the ships blast destructive beams of fire down on cities all over the planet. The spectacle begins when massive spaceships appear in Earth's skies.
