New ‘Independence Day: Resurgence’ TV Spot: “They’re Coming Back”
Deadline Hollywood ^ | April 3, 2016 | Ross A. Lincoln

Posted on 04/04/2016 7:55:59 AM PDT by C19fan

Just in case you forgot in the haze of Batman and Superman not being best friends, 20th Century Fox has released a new TV spot to remind you that Independence Day: Resurgence is coming this summer and with it, the second wave of alien invaders who nearly destroyed planet earth in the original film back in 1996. The new teaser leans heavily on the returning stars of the original film. There’s Bill Pullman’s former President Thomas Whitmore interfacing with the aliens. There’s Jeff Goldblum’s David Levinson being exactly as deadpan and snarky as you require. There’s even Brent Spiner, who played the insane Area 52 scientist in the original film, this time apparently able to understand how the aliens communicate. Watch it here now.

Looks like Dr. Okun survived. I wonder if they let him out of Area 51.

Great patriotic movie. But who taught all those young airmen Morse code?

Loved Independence Day. Hope they get the sequel right. Using the same director I see so that’s good.

Forget aliens.

How can we save the world from the Muslims?

On of the great lines of all time:

President Thomas Whitmore: Good morning. In less than an hour, aircraft from here will join others from around the world. And you will be launching the largest aerial battle in the history of mankind. "Mankind." That word should have new meaning for all of us today. We can't be consumed by our petty differences anymore. We will be united in our common interests. Perhaps it's fate that today is the Fourth of July, and you will once again be fighting for our freedom... Not from tyranny, oppression, or persecution... but from annihilation. We are fighting for our right to live. To exist. And should we win the day, the Fourth of July will no longer be known as an American holiday, but as the day the world declared in one voice: "We will not go quietly into the night!" We will not vanish without a fight! We're going to live on! We're going to survive! Today we celebrate our Independence Day!

Loved Independence Day. I watch it every 4th of July :) Will Smith is making a mistake by not being in this one, imo, unless it’s a total disaster.

It will be hard to top the first one.

But what about Judd Hirsch as David's non-stereotypical Jewish father?!

"You'd all be dead now if it weren't for my David!"

It was also a great McDonnell Douglas commercial.

Margaret Colin. She was quite the looker in the original.

I always thought that naming it “Independence Day” was an attempt to cash-in on the fact that it was ready for release the 4th of July holiday weekend, and no other reason- it really has nothing to do with the movie.

Even the ‘date’ screens during the movie showing that the invasion was coming up to the 4th of July seemed like an after-thought to make sure the movie fit the title

But hey... it works

Well, a guy who can write virus code for alien information systems as quick as if he was writing a letter to his mom is a pretty handy guy to have around. I'm will to bet those aliens aren't using VB, C++ or Java.
