Independence Day: Resurgence was released by 20th Century Fox in the United States on June 24, 2016, twenty years after the release of Independence Day, in 2D, 3D, and IMAX 3D, receiving negative reviews and becoming a box office bomb, having grossed $389 million worldwide at the box office against its $165 million budget. This was one of Robert Loggia's final projects before he died and the film is dedicated in memory of him.
Principal photography began in April 2015 at locations primarily in New Mexico but also in the Bonneville Salt Flats of Utah, which were featured in the original. Plans for a sequel to Independence Day began as early as 2001, with 20th Century Fox eventually green-lighting the project in 2014. Through reverse engineering, the world has fused the power of alien technology with humanity's and laid the groundwork to resist a second invasion. The film takes place twenty years after the events of the first film, during which the United Nations has collaborated to form the Earth Space Defense, an international military defense and research organization. It stars an ensemble cast that consists of Liam Hemsworth, Jeff Goldblum, Bill Pullman, Maika Monroe, Travis Tope, William Fichtner, Charlotte Gainsbourg, and Judd Hirsch. That placed Roland Emmerich in the difficult position of having to reimagine the entire movie in the midst of preproduction.Independence Day: Resurgence is a 2016 American science fiction action film co-written and directed by Roland Emmerich, serving as a sequel to the 1996 film Independence Day. Ultimately though, Will Smith ended up being more impressed with the script for Suicide Squad, so he decided to play Deadshot in that DC movie instead and bailed on Resurgence. Whitmore, it’s a no-brainer why Roland Emmerich and the other creative minds behind Independence Day: Resurgence wanted him back. At that point I had to decide, should I keep going or not? I realized we had spent $10 or 12 million and you don’t drop out easily.Ĭonsidering that Will Smith’s Captain Steven Hiller was one of the main protagonists in Independence Day, along with Jeff Goldblum’s David Levinson and Bill Pullman’s Thomas J. I’m proud of Independence Day: Resurgence but we had one problem: Will Smith decided while we were preparing, to drop out. Originally Will Smith was supposed to reprise Steven Hiller in Independence Day: Resurgence, but he ended up dropping out at the last minute, which naturally caused a lot of problems. Will Smith spent the first half of the 1990s being best known on screen for The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, but it was Independence Day, along with Bad Boys and Men in Black, that established him as a movie star in the latter half of the decade.
