The 61-year-old actor told Time, "I had a meeting and have been talking over the last several months or year with Roland Emmerich and Dean Devlin, the producer, and they’ve been cooking up and say they have a part for me in what they hope will be a plan to make another one pretty soon."

Goldblum played the role of a computer genius in the first film, and now the script with his part is in progress. He explains, "They’re still talking about it and I've heard recent rumblings here and there about it, and 'Oh, there’s a script coming in'— maybe last weekend there was a script handed in, so it’s brewing."
