Independence Day: Resurgence Extended Trailer – The aliens still really don’t like us

May 23, 2016 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

While 1996’s Independence Day was a big hit on its first released, it’s been a long time since it first arrived in cinemas. As a result there are plenty of movie fans around who were barely born when it first came out, and so Fox is making sure it’s not resting on the first movie’s laurels when it comes of the marketing. That includes releasing an extended five-minute trailer to give us a full taste of the movie, including plenty of action, darkness and a bit more of the plot.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘We always knew they were coming back. After INDEPENDENCE DAY redefined the event movie genre, the next epic chapter delivers global spectacle on an unimaginable scale. Using recovered alien technology, the nations of Earth have collaborated on an immense defense program to protect the planet. But nothing can prepare us for the aliens’ advanced and unprecedented force. Only the ingenuity of a few brave men and women can bring our world back from the brink of extinction.’

Liam Hemsworth, Jeff Goldblum, Bill Pullman, Judd Hirsch, Vivica A. Fox, Brent Spiner, Charlotte Gainsbourg, Jessie Usher, Maika Monroe, and Sela Ward star, with Roland Emmerich once more directing. It’ll be in cinemas June 23rd. [Read more…]

New Independence Day: Resurgence Trailer – Once again, no landmark is safe from the aliens

April 24, 2016 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Having talked about it ever the first Independence Day became a gargantuan hit in 1996, we are finally getting a sequel, Resurgence. Many of the old face return, including Jeff Goldblum, Bill Pullman, Vivica A. Fox and Brent Spiner, along with a new generation, led by Jessie Usher and Liam Hemsworth.

Will Smith isn’t returning, but the aliens sure are, and this promo certainly wants to be a bit dark and moody, although right at the end suggests it will retain the humour that helped make the first one a hit. They’re also certainly keen to suggest that things are getting bigger.

Take a look at the new trailer below. [Read more…]

Liam Hemsworth Wanted For Independence Day Sequel

January 28, 2015 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

After a very, very long time in development, the planned sequel to Independence Day is creeping towards production, and as proof they really intend to go ahead this time, The Wrap reports that Liam Hemsworth has been offered a major role in the movie.

The previously rumoured Michael B. Jordan is also still in the mix (while there’s been no confirmation, the speculation is that he’ll play the son of Will Smith’s character from the first film). Jeff Goldblum and Bill Pullman are due to return for the film, which will shoot this year for release June 24, 2016.

There are no details on the plot, but it’s safe to say mankind will once more be threatened by aliens intent on humanity’s destruction. Emmerich has previously said, “The humans knew that one day the aliens would come back. And they know that the only way you can really travel in space is through wormholes. So for the aliens, it could take two or three weeks, but for us that’s 20 or 25 years….It’s a changed world. It’s like parallel history. [Humans] have harnessed all this alien technology. We don’t know how to duplicate it because it’s organically-grown technology, but we know how to take an antigravity device and put it in a human airplane.”

Jeff Goldblum & Bill Pullman Back For Independence Day Sequel

June 26, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

A couple of days ago, Roland Emmerich said that Will Smith wouldn’t be back for the planned sequel to Independence Day as he was simply too expensive, but he did promise many of the original cast members would return.

Now Movies.com has been pressing Emmerich for news on who will be back, with the director telling them that both Jeff Goldblum, who played the genius David Levinson, and Bill Pullman, who was President Thomas Whitmore, will return. It’s not a surprise that Pullman is back, as he’s suggested as much himself, but many were wondering about Goldblum.

There’s still not much info on the plot of the film, believed to be called ID Forever, or how Goldblum and Pullman fit into it, although Emmerich has previously said its set 20 years after the first film and explores the repercussion of the alien attack.

There’s also no info on any of the other original cast, such as Judd Hirsch and Mary McDonell will return as well. Fox recently set a July 3rd, 2015 release date for the movie.

Independence Day 2 Sets July 2015 Release Date

June 21, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

It’s been 17 years since Independence Day was released, and in all that time the likes of Will Smith and director Roland Emmerich have continued to talk about sequels. However it’s only in the last couple of years its seemed more like a reality, and there’s even been titles for two more films, ID Forever Parts One and Two.

Now its got even closer to the screen, as 20th Century Fox has set a July 3rd, 2015 release date for the first of those planned new movies. Of course, a date is no guarantee it’ll actually happen, but it’s a strong indication that things have progressed to the point where Fox is confident it’s likely to go forward.

No concrete details on the plot have been revealed, although Bill Pullman has said that he definitely wants to return, with Will Smith also likely to be back as Steven Hiller. Expect more info soon.

Starring: Milla Jovovich, Spencer List, Bill Pullman, Marcia Cross
Director: Famke Janssen
Running Time: 91 mins
Certificate: 15
Release Date: May 13th 2013

Having found fame in front of the cameras in the likes of X-Men and Goldeneye, Famke Janssen turns writer and director with Bringing Up Bobby. Milla Jovovich gets to take the central role as a Ukrainian immigrant to America Olive, who’s raising a young son called Bobby (Spencer List).

Olive’s idea of parenting isn’t exactly textbook, as she’s a full-on con-woman, happy to say and do whatever she has to in order to get by, whether it’s convincing a salesman to let her go on a test drive so she can steal a car, or pretending she’s raising cash for poor foreigners. [Read more…]

Independence Day Sequels Plot Details Revealed

March 27, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Independence Day 2 & 3 are sequel ideas that never die, with director Roland Emmerich and star Will Smith often hinting that they’re still in the works, but it’s only been recently that there’s seemed to be real impetus behind the idea – even though they’re still a fair way off – with the titles ID Forever Part One and ID Forever Part Two recently revealed.

Now Emmerich has given some info about the proposed plots of the sequels, which suggest they may be hoping to get Independence Day 2 in cinemas in three years time, exactly two decades after the first film. The filmmaker revealed to EW that the follow-up’s story is set 20 years after the first movie, centring on a distress call that was made by the first wave of aliens in Independence Day.

He says, “The humans knew that one day the aliens would come back. And they know that the only way you can really travel in space is through wormholes. So for the aliens, it could take two or three weeks, but for us that’s 20 or 25 years.”

Roland Emmerich wrote the screenplays for both ID Forever – Part 1 and ID Forever – Part 2, but now he’s handed them over to his White House Down writer, James Vanderbilt, to do a rewrite.

The director also said that the humans have embraced the alien technology in the years following the initial attack. “It’s a changed world. It’s like parallel history,” he says. “[Humans] have harnessed all this alien technology. We don’t know how to duplicate it because it’s organically-grown technology, but we know how to take an antigravity device and put it in a human airplane.”

Independence Day star Bill Pullman is on board for both movies, although Will Smith has not been confirmed quite yet. The filmmaker revealed this story will focus on a new generation of heroes, including the stepson of Will Smith’s character, played by Ross Bagley in the original. “It’s still some of the same characters, but also new younger characters; it’s a little bit like the sons take over. The first one ends on a little success, but only enough to give the humans hope. And then in the second one they free themselves again [from the aliens].”

A 3D version of the original Independence Day Is due in cinemas this summer, and if that’s a success, it’ll certainly give more impetus to the sequels.
