I think the news report was live and they replayed the explosion during the newscast.

I mean, I'll probably get high enough to enjoy this as a gratuitously stupid XCOM movie.

The worse sin is it'll probably be boring going from the tone of the trailer. It's so movie exec: "What if we do a sequel but it was bigger, better, and more badass?". There's no personality here.
Lol, no. Emmerich is just a shitty director who makes shitty movies.
The only difference between Emmerich and Uwe Boll is budget.
Hopefully this new movie is as bad as the last one so I can laugh my ass off through stuff that wasn't intended to be funny.

Too logical. Needs to be as stupid as the virus uploaded from a PowerBook into the alien database.

Wrong, wrong, WRONG! Emmerich's movies, even at their most preposterous, have a level of sincere playfulness that many other directors in his class have trouble grasping (you never see folks like the guy who did Battleship ever have a handle on such a thing). And while they are on the nose, he actually makes his movies about something. Even for ones as stupid as The Day After Tomorrow and 2012 with their respective climate change and classism messages. White House Down had right wing paranoia, and of course, ID4's call for global unity. In an era where the bigger the blockbuster, the more likely it's gonna be watered down, Emmerich is at least ballsy enough to go crazy with their meanings. But if you really want to know the man behind the camera, go watch his Shakespearian truther movie, Anonymous...or better yet, watch this episode of Brows Held High covering it.

All Uwe Boll is is a hack.
Jeff Goldblum takes to the podium giving a rousing speech to scriptkiddies of the world to stop masturbating and DDoS the aliens into oblivion
I bet the aliens get new exoskeletons too that are more battle capable.
Nothing beats punching an alien (wearing an exoskeleton) unconscious. Smith was the original One Punch Man.

The possible excuse that came to my mind was that he was indeed killed but they saved/resurrected him with alien robot parts, since those squid dudes seem to love their biotechnology. It fits well enough.
So now he's an alien bionic man badass but his existence is classified. Maybe they send him up into space on secret missions.
What if it's a rebroadcast of live footage? Ever think about that wise guy?
They had that ready in case he would blow up.
Looks good, a little heavy on the Dark Blue but still good.
Independence Day hold a special place in my heart and I was only 2 years olld when it came out in theaters. Needless to say I didn't see it in theaters but eventually my mother bought in on VHS because she enjoyed it so much. Back then we couldn't afford many movies and a blockbuster was kind of far from us. Regardless I think I've seen Independence Day more than 12 times. I remember everything, most of the lines even character names.
I only say this because I sincerely hope the new film keeps the charm and humor of the first one. I can deal with the absence of Will Smith only as long as I get a suitable charismatic main character in his place. I dont think Goldblum is going to fulfill that role entirely.

I have shamed my ancestors.
...but those kinds of rebroadcasts usually include 'recorded earlier' tags.

Hell fuckin yeah
It's actually Harald Kloser (with assistance by Thomas Wander, formerly known as Wanker before he changed his last name, for understandable reasons). Basically, the dudes who scored every Emmerich film since "The Day After Tomorrow."

I like malika monroe so much. Hope this helps her career. She has this believable look in her that makes it easy to relate.

Armageddon popped into my head while watching this trailer, and I don't feel good about that. Of course, Roland Emmerich being wack as fuck doesn't help.

I wonder if they are going to go in the direction of the novels (yes there were books). In the novels the alien force in 1996 was basically their forward expedition force, to clear the skies and set ground forces, kind of like marines.
The second force is the alien army plus primary population that fully takes over the planet and strips the resources. The fact that you see alien ships either on the ground or in the process of crashing to the ground gives credence to the alien army theory.

Woah there buddy, Uwe Boll has no idea wtf he's doing while making movies. Like, fucking none. Also that Kickstarter. :\
Emmerich is whole different level compared to him. He can make competent movies, he just little going on the writer end. Still, he's probably more enjoyable than Michael Bay, who just makes offensive pieces of shit, The Rock being an exception somehow, which may be due to it having a Scottish gentleman and a former government assassin as the secondary main character. I doubt Connery would have accepted that crap. Neither would Ed Harris, I would think.
Fun trailer though. Predictable that they would use the speech, but goddamn did that hit the right buttons. Also: moon base for pre-emptive strike purposes? Awesome. Space uhm, finds a way.
edit: oh, someone already tackled that one. Whoops.
I actually wouldn't put it past them to DDoS the new mothership. Like the aliens depend on networked communication for navigation and Goldblum gets the whole world to bombard it's "IP address" with so much traffic it overloads.
The whole world joins hands... I like it.
Also make sure it explodes in the air, I need some fireworks.

Hiller is obviously still alive and captive to the aliens

It doesn't matter who we are, what matters is our plan.
So edgy.
But not wrong, I'm glad he's not in it personally...

Why the long case?
Just watched a bunch of scenes from the first one.
I am really eager to see the practical effects in this. Based on the photos, it seems there are at least a few. I think my favorite example from the first would be the autopsy scene. It terrified me as a kid, and I think it was because the puppet looked so real.
I'm really hoping this movie has a lot of practical stuff.

wikipedia, lists Will Smith as a co-producer of the film. I don't know if it is legitimate info, but it should be interesting if he servers as a producer of the sequel.

I still say he is making a cameo. That is my gut and I'm sticking to it.

After a string of disappointments (BvS, ST, Xmen)....this was actually a pretty good trailer and makes me want to see the movie.
I would have liked Will though.

Will Smith says Steven Hiller's fate before Independence Day: Resurgence is "terrible". The actor will have "tears in his eyes" when the sequel is released.
I feel like this is a little case of "You can't have the cake and eat it too", Will...
