20th Century Fox has released the first trailer for the sequel "Independence Day: Resurgence". Director Roland Emmerich returns to helm this new installment which takes place 20 years after the alien invasion from the first film. In the meantime, humanity has been using the alien technology to beef up its defenses, and as the trailer reveals, that was a good idea.
The big bad aliens are back and they're bigger and badder. Also back are most of the original cast, except Will Smith whose character is revealed to have been killed during a test flight via the official viral website WarOf1996.com. That website is actually great and it's nice to see so much thought being put into the backstory that fills the gap between the two movies. Although, it won't matter that much if this new movie sucks.
The film stars Liam Hemsworth, Jessie Usher, Maika Monroe, Jeff Goldblum, Bill Pullman, Judd Hirsch, Vivica A. Fox, Brent Spiner, Charlotte Gainsbourg, and Sela Ward.
"Independence Day: Resurgence" opens in theaters on June 24, 2016.
Watch the trailer after the jump.
Official 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."
