'Independence Day' set for two sequels

Two sequels to 1996 movie 'Independence Day' are to be filmed, it has been announced.

The 1996 movie - which starred Will Smith as the saviour of earth after an alien attack - could get the follow-ups thanks to the success of James Cameron's 3-D sci-fi epic 'Avatar', which was released by 20th Century Fox, the same studio that distributed 'Avatar'.
