For those of you who keep asking why Data is still alive: Emmerich and Devlin both agreed in the director's commentary that he was just in a coma after the attack.

"It's touched down over the Atlantic!"
"Which part?"
"All of it!"

Sold. The first one is the guiltiest of guilty pleasures.

Also, I'm convinced that Will Smith is going to show up in this. I know they've said he won't, but until I see evidence that he was in Fiji or something during filming, I don't believe it.

Tax breaks mostly, if I remember right.
Same reason why a lot of movies are being filmed in the UK right now. Same with the whole China thing too with stuff like Transformers.

This trailer is worse IMO mainly because of the increased focus on newcomers.

They drop Smith for what sounds like understandable reasons. Ok fine he was being too demanding. However, Smith could take any line and bring the charisma. Whoever is playing his son doesn't seem to bring anything close to that same energy. Same goes for the other younger pilot. Appears he couldn't fit Connick's shoes if he tried.

Still hoping this is as fun as the original.

I'm telling you, this is how the movie should end.

Earth is destroyed, fucked obliterated. The last vessels of humanity are forced into space with the technology they have gathered over 20 years, entire derelict fleets are floating in orbit from what ever battle happened in the movie. Years go on, we take the remanence of their fleet that is in space and on Earth and create a home among the stars.

The movie has one last scene, Goldblum and Co. are in the heart of a destroyed mothership and find a star map that shows all of our local immediate cluster showing the trail of dead planet after dead planet, a perfect path of where they have been, showing once flourishing worlds completely obliterated by the aliens.

And then you see Goldblum start following the trail, and it ends on a single planet. It's not dead, it's atmosphere is habitable to humans. It's the aliens home planet.

"Now it's time for us to destroy their national monuments"

Getting more and more hyped for this. Get the feeling we might be getting another speech from President Whitmore (Bill Pullman's character) as well.

Movie looks like pure insanity. I'm sad that the new cast don't seem to have 1/8th of the charisma the old cast have outside of the likes of Pullman and Goldblum though.

Director Roland Emmerich mentions that the sequel is more complex and more dark...

So far the companies that are in charge of the ID Resurgence visual effects are :

Makes sense that the mother-ship has touched down all over the Atlantic ocean.
Independence Day begins with massive hovering alien vessels lingering over the major cities of the world. The sight of the hovering mega-ships is one of the most memorable images from the 1996 film – along with that exploding White House. Director Roland Emmerich returns to the Independence Day universe with this summer’s sequel, Resurgence. Twenty years later, the nemesis has gotten stronger. “The Mothership comes to Earth,” the director explains, “And it spans the Atlantic Ocean.”

The prospect of a bigger-and-badder counterattack is something very much on the mind of the characters in Independence Day (including returning cast members Jeff Goldblum and Bill Pullman). Emmerich talked to EW about some of the concepts underpinning the sequel. “I always say, it’s a post-war world,” he says. “We call [the first movie] the War of ‘96. Which we won! But it’s also kind of clear that they were going to come back. So we’ve stayed unified.”

Emmerich sees this as a mildly optimistic alternate vision of recent history. “In these days when our world is so not united, this is a very poignant thing to do in a movie. To show how much we can accomplish.”

What happens if the humans win the war of 2016? Sequel potential: The Atlantic Ocean is actually smaller than the Pacific Ocean.

Liked some of the self aware gags but not sure this will be the guilty pleasure fun the first was. New cast doesn't click with me at all and even for a ridiculous franchise logic wise this looks like it would push my already fragile suspension of disbelief too far.

Might just re-read Forge of God and Anvil of Stars again for this particular plot handled intelligently.

Or I might cave. The line about liking the landmarks was pretty cute.

By far the best resurgence trailer so far, I like it when films do an alternative timeline. Also got a bit of a Starship troopers vibe for some reason.

The effects look nice, but the cardboard actors can't replicate the charisma of the first movie. I dunno, I think it looks terrible.

The first one was a classic. So much fun. But this? Will Smith was a great hero in the first one, and Pullman was also great, as was Goldblum. All their stories converged in a really interesting way that lead to the climax. I think World War Z with brad pitt touring the world tried to be like Independence Day, but it lacked a cohesiveness to bring it all together.


I'm very concerned about Liam Hemsworth. I've not seen him in anything where I felt like I liked him. He seems like that uptight pretty boy who is too cool for his own good. He is not charming, witty or bad ass. He is just this generic white dude in a sea of white dudes.
