We’ve got some time to go before things really start moving for the Independence Day sequel, but casting has been going on for a bit. Last month saw Vivica Fox returning to the folks, where she’ll be playing the wife of Will Smith’s character, who is still not returning. Now we’ve got news that Bill Pullman is coming back from director Roland Emmerich himself. He’s also confirmed that Judd Hirsch is back for another run at the character of Jeff Goldblum’s character’s father. And since Goldblum was confirmed previously, that brings a lot of the cast to back for another go around. The film is looking to largely play in “real time” in a way as it initially cast Jessie Usher as its first new member, who will be playing the role of Will Smith’s characters son in the film. Since this takes place twenty years later, with a little fudging, it works pretty well to do a whole next generation kind of change thing which could be interesting to see how the world has changed in all this time.
Directed by Roland Emmerich, the film will star Bill Pullman, Jeff Goldblum, Vivica Fox, Liam Hemsworth, Judd Hirsch, Jessie Usher, Travis Tope, Charlotte Gainsbourg and Joey King.
Original concept: On July 2nd, communications systems worldwide are sent into chaos by a strange atmospheric interference. First thought to be meteors, they are later revealed to be gigantic spacecraft, piloted by a mysterious alien species who have set out to launch an attack throughout the globe.
