TV Spot For Independence Day: Resurgence Teases Close Encounters Of A New Kind

 

20th Century Fox has launched an unnerving new TV spot for Independence Day: Resurgence, which finds the aliens shrieking in celebration. Descending into Earth’s orbit a full twenty years after the War of 1996, Roland Emmerich’s long-in-development sequel opens with the extra-terrestrials waging war on our planet, armed to the teeth with weapons and technology that far surpass our own and that’s including the alien tech leftover from ’96 that facilitated the creation of the Earth Space Defence (ESD).

Among the crack team of soldiers and scientists dispatched to Earth’s newfound moon base are Liam Hemsworth and Jeff Goldblum’s characters, but the big takeaway from today’s all-new snippet involves a close encounter of a new kind. Confronting the alien menace in a glass-wall chamber, this time it’s the returning Bill Pullman that finds himself at the mercy of those pesky tentacles, before relaying an ominous message from the alien hive mind, “she is coming.” Exactly what ‘she’ is remains to be seen, but it can’t be anything good for our band of heroes.

Independence Day: Resurgence lands on June 24, 2016. Judd Hirsch, Vivica A. Fox, Brent Spiner, Charlotte Gainsbourg, Maika Monroe and Sela Ward also star.
