LOS ANGELES, Dec 14 — It has been nearly 20 years since we first say Will Smith battle aliens and now the first trailer for “Independence Day: Resurgence” has finally been released.
Helmed by returning director Roland Emmerich, “Independence Day: Resurgence” stars Liam Hemsworth and also features original characters David Levinson (Jeff Goldblum), Thomas J. Whitmore (Bill Pullman), Patricia Whitmore (now played by Maika Monroe), Julius Levinson (Judd Hirsch), and Jasmine Dubrow-Hiller (Vivica A. Fox). Smith will not be returning to reprise his role in the sequel to the 1996 blockbuster.
Here’s the official synopsis for the movie: “Independence Day was just the beginning. We always knew they were coming back. After that film redefined the event movie genre, the next epic chapter in the Independence Day universe delivers a global spectacle on an unimaginable scale.
“Using recovered alien technology, the nations of Earth have collaborated on an immense defence 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.”
“Independence Day: Resurgence” is set for release on June 24, 2016.
