I agree he's expensive, but if you're Fox and you want to make this sequel it seems a no-brainer to pay to bring him back (finance.yahoo.com)

No one watched ID4 for Pullman or Goldblum. Smith is the only person who has to come back. -- nm - Will Hunting Jun 24, 13:25 2
- what i can't tell is if they're just being cheap, or if there's a reason other than $$ that Will Smith doesn't/wouldn't reprise the role -- nm - charlie Jun 24, 13:33 1
  - he doesn't guarantee box office as much as he used to but in this case I think not getting him will make it a "cheap sequel" - zork Jun 24, 13:38
It'll cost more not to include him. -- nm - Max Jun 24, 13:06 1
- Right -- nm - prayformojo Jun 24, 13:14
the 1st left off with the world a moldering mess w/cities and populations wiped out, so only mostly intact areas would be africa. so bring in eddy - zeitgeist Jun 24, 12:56
and ID4b's fate as straight to DVD is sealed -- nm - zork Jun 24, 12:51
That's why Will Smith created Jaden Smith. -- nm - Qale Jun 24, 12:49 1
- Fear is a choice... -- nm - Captain Steven Hiller Jun 24, 12:50
again? If he has said it this many times, it must be true. -- nm - Spawn Jun 24, 12:41
I could easily see him not being "the star" of the movie, just a pricey cameo. That's all it would need. -- nm - Beryllium Jun 24, 12:40 7
- Dress him up as an alien for a 5-second shot. -- nm - Strongbad Jun 24, 12:42
- well i wouldn't pay him for just a cameo. -- nm - charlie Jun 24, 12:40 5
  - "Welcome back to earth!" ::scene:: -- nm - Spawn Jun 24, 12:46 2
    - What would a world-saving airman do in his retirement? Or would he even retire? -- nm - Beryllium Jun 24, 12:47 1
      - Be like Kirk, and live with these twins. -- (link) - Spawn Jun 24, 12:48
  - ten minutes of screen time. tops. -- nm - Beryllium Jun 24, 12:42 1
    - just recycle footage from Hancock -- nm - Beryllium Jun 24, 12:42
