Independence Day 2 Trailer Arriving This Week?

Through all the excitement about ‘Captain America: Civil War,’ ‘Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice’ and ‘X-Men: Apocalypse,’ some readers might have missed the fact that 2016 sees another blockbuster property return to the screen - after a much longer hiatus.

Yes, 20 years on from the 1996 original, 2016 will see the release of ‘Independence Day: Resurgence,’ the long overdue sequel to Roland Emmerich’s alien invasion mega-hit.

Little has been revealed of the film thus far - but now we have grounds to believe that we should be seeing a trailer very soon.

An anonymous cinema employee posted the following photograph on Imgur, with the preface, “I work at a movie theatre. This just came in.”

In case it isn’t clear, this is an IMAX digital file which is marked to contain trailers to screen before ‘Star Wars: The Force Awakens,’ which opens this coming Friday, 18 December.

The trailers listed are ‘Batman V Superman,’ ‘Captain America: Civil War,’ ‘Deadpool,’ ‘Independence Day: Resurgence,’ ‘The Jungle Book’ and ‘Warcraft.’

Those are all movies we’ve seen trailers for already - with the exception of ‘Independence Day: Resurgence.’ This would seem clear evidence that a trailer is ready, and that it will be out there for all to see very soon. (We might also note the ‘Deadpool’ trailer is marked ‘EXCL,’ implying it’s a new exclusive trailer - so we may also have another of those to look forward to.)

‘Independence Day: Resurgence’ will see most of the key players from the 1996 original return, with the exception of Will Smith. Director Roland Emmerich, producer-writer Dean Devlin and stars Jeff Goldblum and Bill Pullman are all back.

New stars include Liam Hemsworth, Maika Monroe, Jessie Usher and Joey King.

Set 20 years after the events of the first film, Earth has used recovered alien technology to defend itself against any further attack - and, wouldn’t you know it, there is indeed another alien attack on the way.

Watch the memorable teaser trailer for the original ‘Independence Day’ below.

‘Independence Day: Resurgence’ opens 24 June 2016.
