Im bummed that Mae Whitman and Ross Bagley aren't reprising their roles.

In the 1st film, The Aliens attacked the cities, Now they want to destroy the planet.

ah so a revenge movie eh? gee how original :lol:

Here's the Synopsis for the Sequel.
http://comicbook.com/2015/06/06/syno...been-released/

hey don't get me wrong dude, i'm all in either way!

But, what about BOOMER?!!

I've been supremely interested in this since I heard about it. I don't care if it's cheese... Independence Day 1 was pure spectacle and good ole American machismo boiled down to its core in a humans vs. Aliens form and I'm fine with that. This time it'll be interesting to see this new revisionist... not even future, but rather a revisionist present. Had we gotten attacked by Aliens in 1997 or whatever it was, and won... and we have all this dead Alien tech laying around for 18 years, where would we be now? And now they come back?

It's a very interesting concept. And yeah, it's weird that Will Smith couldn't be wooed back for another 7/4 premiere, but whatever. My biggest worry is everything I've read about them planning this as Part 1 of some kind of big sweeping trilogy... yeah, stop that. Just compile that energy into giving us a good open and shut sequel. If it does well, sit down in 2 years and see if there's a part 3, not now.

Hahaha... hell yeah.

Fox had a Press Conference for Independence Day 2, Which is officially titled Independence Day: Resurgence.

No offense to Will Smith fans but I'm glad he's not in it, from what it sounds like why he didn't return it's due to him not having his real son in the film unlike After Earth which LOL Bombed hard. Besides, Will and his son would have taken a lot of time away from other characters.

Jeff ( David ) Was my favorite character any ways and it sounds like he will be playing a major role in these :D

Why didn't they wait till the comic con for this though? I wonder if they'll do some thing on this there any ways?

a 30 second teaser trailer has been classified.

He was already scheduled to film other movies. Suicide Squad being the big one. It has nothing to do with his son.

I also heard that, He doesn't want to do any more sequels.

I didn't care for the first one. It was pretty dumb and cheesy but I guess that was the point. Still I'm kinda interested to see what this is like.

I've seen people complaining that Will Smith owes his fame to this and it's what made him a big a star. It makes me laugh because, oh really?...His music and Fresh Prince were just stepping stones I guess. MIB came out the next year.

I've dug the original since i was a teen when it came out as i saw it 4 times and is one of my fave sci-fi movies.

This should be a nice reunion despite Smith is not in it.

The 1st trailer is coming in the next few days.

http://www.albertafilmratings.ca/rec...strailers.aspx

Cool it's a 2 minute and 6 second trailer.

I wouldn't be surprise if the trailer came out during the week of Star Wars: The Force Awakens.

The trailer is expected to play in front of The Force Awakens next week, which means we will see it online in the middle of the week.

Here's the Trailer.

Nice to see Goldbloom & Fichtner. May be worth watching after all.

I thought the whole appeal of Independence Day was that the characters were just like us, and DIDN'T have access to lasers and Death Stars and stuff.

I just saw a comment: "the amount of buffering I just saw to watch this brought me right back to 1996." That was hilarious.:lol:

I was looking forward to seeing this trailer, so when I saw it, I thought I was watching a Star Wars trailer. :ohwell:

Sorry I was not impressed with it. :ohwell:

My thoughts exactly.

Remember when one of the early ideas for the sequel was "Millennium Day"?

People actually want this? I liked the first one as a kid but I have no intention to ever revisit the movie again. The story doesn't even lend itself to sequels either. Trailer was rather generic, is probably the best they can come up with the premise.

Trailler officially released.



There's a viral site for it.
http://www.warof1996.com/

The movie looks like it takes place a 100 years later not 20 years.

I knew they would be updating planes ect but having bases on the moon and mars. I't's just too futuristic.

Looks too serious aswell.

I would probably still go see it but not on opening week, i'll wait till July.

It takes place 20 years after the 1st film, humanity managed to rebuilt, and they reverse engineered the alien technology to protect themselves from another invasion.

I know it takes place 20 years but they done all that in just 20 years. if it was 50 years, it could be a bit more believable.

The viral site reveals the fate of Will Smith's character, I put this in spoilers

I hope will smith sees this.

And yet Brent Spiner's character is a-ok. :P

Here's a GIF of those hybrid jets, will be posting more GIFs soon.

How is it unbelievable? They had alien tech, you think after a world wide attack all the governments in the world wouldn't spend all their budget on reverse engineering and having another arms race? Not to mention their tech wasn't all that different from ours (don't they insert a floppy disc or something to install the virus?). Now complaining about that little segment being unbelievable is more understanding.

Here's some more GIFs

:lol:

I wonder if Smith knows or cares.

My biggest gripe is WHY is Patricia Whitmore (originally played by Mae Whitman) even IN this?!! The First Lady DIED at Area 51! She was fatally injured in the helicopter crash, and died later in their infirmary just before the final attack. Someone didn't do their homework for the new script, obviously.
