Moonfall 2 Could Happen If First Movie Is Succesful, Says Rolan Emmerich
Roland Emmerich says Moonfall 2 could happen if the first movie is successful enough. Known for directing Independence Day, The Day After Tomorrow, 2012, and White House Down, Emmerich's work has been praised for its eye-catching visuals and groundbreaking effects, though his storytelling and character work has been less than well-received throughout his career. Moonfall is set to be one of the most expensive independently financed films of all time at $140 million, beating out Emmerich's previous film, Midway, a World War II drama.
Moonfall tells the story of the moon being knocked out of orbit, with two astronauts and a conspiracy theorist teaming up to prevent it colliding with Earth, discovering that the moon itself is not what it seems. Moonfallis set to deliver more of the spectacular effects that have driven Emmerich's filmography. Lionsgate will release the film in theaters on February 4.
