Independence Day: Resurgence (Trailer)
December 15, 2015
Will Smith doesn’t appear in the sequel to the 1996 original “Independence Day” film that officially launched his career as an action hero, but director Roland Emmerich brings back Vivica A. Fox, Jeff Goldblum & adds Liam Hemsworth to pick up the slack 20 years later. Will the sequel be better than the original without the Fresh Prince? We’ll see this Summer on June 24th, 2016…..about 2 weeks before Independence Day.
“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.”
