Jeff Goldblum on Independence Day Sequel: ‘It’s Brewing’:

The prolific actor says that there’s a part for him in the follow-up to Roland Emmerich’s 1996 summer blockbuster

If the sequel isn’t: 

“Jeff Goldblum changes the world. He uses his his expertise in building Apple-to-alien-tech interfaces to adapt technology from the world-wide multitude of crashed alien ships in order bootstrap us into a new utopia. By advancing the technology and having the availability of parts across the planet, a new golden age arrives. Safely protected from alien attack by a network of auto-broadcasting virus-containing satellites, the world spends 20 years becoming a peaceful untied planet. Now humanity must leave the protected nest in brand new spaceships to explore new worlds, negotiate with neighboring planets, and seek out the origin of their attackers.”

then I will stage a protest!

“If he thinks the fear of alienating a few closed-minded readers is going to stop me from writing stories that feature and promote characters of diverse backgrounds—including LGBTQ characters, persons of color, and people who belong to ideological or philosophical minorities—he must be out of his mind. I’m a fucking Star Trek writer. Hasn’t he ever heard of IDIC—”Infinite Diversity in Infinite Combinations”?”
