Status is "still a rumor".
Also noted that they are assuming it will be in 3D "due to the success of Avatar"

This seems like a no brainer to me. It's kind of amazing they haven't made a franchise out of this earlier... though I guess one the obstacles was the fact that it completely hinges on Smith's involvement, and since he's like one of the only real movie stars left (in terms of being able to consistently open a movie big), he probably has been able to do whatever he wants, and maybe up until now it hasn't been high on his priority list.
For my money, the deal breaker is Bill Pullman. Without his gloriously cheesy President Whitmore, I would have no reason to watch the movie. I only hope after the conflict in the original movie he was elected President of the United Earth for life.

Yeah I'm not liking all the 3d either. Reminds me of those damn 3d art posters that were so big for awhile, you know the ones where you had to cross your eyes just so...end up with the same headache from both. ugh.
As far as ID2 & 3, I'll wait to see what they put together before jumping to see them. It'll probably end up like Starship Troopers, where they just run it into the ground with successively bad sequels.

NOTHING could be worse than ST, except battlefield earth.

I don't see it following the Starship Troopers formula. First off, unlike Starship Troopers, the Independence Day sequels would have the original creative team attached, and a comparable budget. Second, Paul Verehoven made the first Starship Troopers as a satire, whereas ID was ridiculous in a more straightforward way. So the followups will be apples and oranges, really.

I'd go as far as saying most people who didn't like Independence Day were born without a funny bone. Granted, it was a stupid movie, but it falls within the short list of big budget movies that are cheesy in a good way, and the people making it knew so. They threw in a few "serious" moments to try and throw us off, but they knew. 
That being said, the sequels need 4 things to be successful. Will Smith being the old funny Will Smith, Bill Pullman being the most awesome US president in the history of movies(gratuitous motivational speech included), and Jeff Goldbluum to trade witty comments with Smith.
But notice I said 4 things? The last is Randy Quaid, back from the dead.
