Jeff Goldblum and Bill Pullman are officially confirmed for Roland Emmerich's upcoming sequel to his 1996 blockbuster hit 'INDEPENDENCE DAY', The aliens are set to return July 3rd, 2015..
It appears at this time mega-star Will Smith was not being asked back.. Roland Emmerich said Smith wont be asked back because - he's too expensive, but he'd also be too much of a marquee name. It would be too much."
What is known about the plot: The story will take place 20 years after the events of the first film - "The humans knew that one day the aliens would come back… And they know that the only way you can really travel in space is through wormholes. So for the aliens, it could take two or three weeks, but for us that’s 20 or 25 years…. It’s a changed world. It’s like parallel history. [Humans] have harnessed all this alien technology. We don’t know how to duplicate it because it’s organically-grown technology, but we know how to take an anti-gravity device and put it in a human airplane…”
