‘Independence Day 2’ Spoilers: New Trailer For ‘Resurgence’ Unveiled [VIDEO]
There is some good news for fans anticipating the sequel to Independence Day: another trailer for the film should be out soon.
A new trailer for Independence Day 2: Resurgence was unveiled at the recently held CinemaCon. Various media outlets present at the event also reported back about what fans can expect from this new clip. Gizmodo reveals that this trailer gives us more about the story, i.e. more context. The trailer will actually hearken back to the 1996 war in the original movie and the celebration of that victory over alien forces, only to be disrupted by a present day "distress call" sent out by the aliens.
The previously released trailer - a new TV commercial - for the movie shows Dr. Okun (Brent Spiner), back in full force and also causes reason for alarm as the aliens are seen prematurely celebrating the invasion of earth.
Speaking of old characters returning to the franchise, two of the main ones, Jeff Goldblum and Bill Pullman are notable.
The latest still which was released as part of the USA Today summer preview, shows Goldblum as David Levinson and Pullman as former President Thomas J. Whitmore, looking on at something ominous, perhaps the annihilistic approach of the aliens.
Last month, in an interview with SlashFilm, Pullman and Sela Ward talked about working on Independence Day: Resurgence and revealed a bit about their characters.
Pullman revealed that his character, former President Whitmore, will be leaving a peaceful life away from all the political drama in the country.
"I'm living in a suburb in Virginia outside of [Washington] DC, living a quiet life," he said. "My daughter [Maika Monroe] has the exciting things going on now. She used to live in the White House to me, but she is now working for... the big woman."
Independence Day: Resurgence will hit theaters on June 24, 2016, with actual Independence Day just around the corner.
