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…]

We always knew they were coming back.

Here’s the first synopsis: ‘Using recovered alien technology, the nations of Earth have collaborated on an immense defense program to protect the planet.

Independence Day 2 Adds A Female President In The Form Of Sela Ward

May 5, 2015 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Hillary Clinton may be bidding to be America’s first female president, but I’d be willing to bet that if she does win, she won’t have to fight any aliens. That’s not true for CSI: NY & House’s Sela Ward, who’ll be taking the POTUS role in Independence Day 2, according to Deadline.

We would say President Lanford be in residence at the White House, but seeing as that got blown up in the first movie, who knows if it’s been rebuilt. It’s also not clear how she fits into the story, although as Bill Pullman’s President Thomas J. Whitmore was a major force in Independece Day, she’ll probably have plenty to do in this one, especially as Pullman is returning for the sequel.

She joins fellow newcomers Liam Hemsworth, Maika Monroe, Charlotte Gainsbourg, Jessie Usher, Travis Tope and Joey King, alongside returnees such as Pullman, Jeff Goldblum, Vivica A. Fox, Judd Hirsch and Brent Spiner. The film will see the invading aliens return, with the son of Will Smith’s character playing a major role this time around

Jessie Usher To Lead Independence Day Sequel, With Liam Hemsworth & Jeff Goldblum Confirmed To Co-Star

March 4, 2015 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

With a confirmed 2016 release date and Fox planning to shoot in a few months time, the sequel to Independence Day needs to firm up its cast pretty quickly, and it looks like it’s doing just that, as on his Facebook page director Roland Emmerich has revealed Jessie User will take the lead role.

Usher isn’t a particularly well known name, but he’s appeared in Survivor’s Remorse and When The Game Stands Tall, among other roles.

In the Independence Day sequel he’ll play the son of Will Smith’s character from the first movie, who’s now all grown and ready to take on the alien threat himself.

Emmerich also confirmed that Liam Hemsworth, who was recently reported to be in talks for the film, will indeed be part of the cast, and that Jeff Goldblum is set to return for the follow up.

The movie is due out June 24th, 2016.

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 Likely To Return For Independence Day 2 But Not Jurassic World

February 28, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

In the 90s Jeff Goldblum was part of two of the biggest movies of the decade – Independence Day and Jurassic Park. With sequels to both those films currently getting closer to shooting, that actor has revealed that he is in talks for the Independence Day 2, but that no one has approached him to appear in Jurassic World.

While doing press for The Grand Budapest Hotel, Jeff Goldblum revealed he hasn’t read the script for the second Independence Day film yet, although he knows things are moving forward fast. HuffPo reports him as saying, “Yeah, they’ve talked to me about it and I’ve talked to them about it and they’re excited and I’m anxious and eager to see – I haven’t read anything – what they cook up. You know, I think they’re trying to put it together.”

On Jurassic World he says, “Yeah…they haven’t called me for 4, I know Steven Spielberg isn’t directing it…”

Although that suggests he only wants to do dino movies Spielberg helms, when asked if that’s why didn’t return for Jurassic Park III, he says, “No, nobody asked me, but I was perfectly satisfied with the two that I did. I’m still satisfied with that and I’ll be the first in line to see anything else, so, you know.”
