The much-rumoured sequel to smash 1996 movie Independence Day has been confirmed, with a tentative release date of July 3rd 2015.
The original disaster movie, which starred Will Smith, Jeff Goldblum and Bill Pullman, was, at the time, the second-highest grossing movie of all time (amassing over $800m in worldwide box offices). Whilst Pullman is tipped to reprise his role as President Whitmore, it is yet to be confirmed whether Smith and Goldblum have signed up to the script.
The confirmation of the sequel follows director Roland Emmerich’s announcement earlier this year that he intends to make the movies into a trilogy.
More news as we get it, regardless to say we’re excited!!
