INDEPENDENCE DAY 2 Synopsis and Promo Art

Thanks to The Licensing Expo currently taking place in Las Vegas (via Collider) we have a synopsis and a piece of promotional art for you to check out for director Roland Emmerich's Independence Day 2. I don't know about you, but I'm actually looking forward to seeing this. It sucks that Will Smith won't be reprising his role in the film, but at least they managed to get most of the original cast back on board! According to the brief synopsis, it sounds like the movie is going to be exactly what many fans were expecting. 

We always knew they were coming back. After INDEPENDENCE DAY redefined the event movie genre, the next epic chapter delivers global catastrophe 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. (C) Fox

It will be fun to see how this story all plays out on the big screen! The movie stars Jeff Goldblum, Bill Pullman, Judd Hirsch, Liam Hemsworth, Brent Spiner, Joey King, Charlotte Gainsbourg, and Jessie Usher who will play a major role in the story as the son of Will Smith’s character from the first film, Steven Hiller. 

Independence Day 2 is set to be released on June 24th, 2016, which is almost exactly 20 years after the first film.
