Jeff Goldblum Celebrated ‘Independence Day’ With Some Teasers!
What would the Fourth of July be without a tease for FOX’s upcoming Independence Day: Resurgence, which is filming for release on June 24th, 2016?
Franchise fav Jeff Goldblum shared the above photo of himself with co-star Liam Hemsworth, where he wrote: “So there I was thinking about how I would save mankind when this guy photobombs me. Oh, why hello Facebook, nice to finally meet you.”
In addition, a series of short teaser videos have been released, one warning: “We thought we wiped them out. The Resurgence is here. #IDR,” while another one stated “We are fighting for our right to live. To exist.” (That is such a classic Goldblum line!)
Bill Pullman, Judd Hirsch, Vivica A. Fox, Brent Spiner, Charlotte Gainsbourg, Jessie Usher, Maika Monroe, and Sela Ward also star
“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.“
Roland Emmerich returns to the director’s chair. No Will Smith, sorry.
