Two decades after the landmark blockbuster Independence Day humanity will face an even bigger battle with alien forces in INDEPENDENCE DAY: RESURGENCE.

I recently sat down with Marco Shepherd, Co-Producer of the Roland Emmerich film and Head of Production and Development at Emmerich’s Centropolis. The energetic Hispanic talked about the process of making the anticipated sequel and much more.

The movie stars Liam Hemsworth, Jeff Goldblum, Maika Monroe, Bill Pullman, Vivica A. Fox, Charlotte Gainsbourg, William Fichtner, Sela Ward, Judd Hirsch, Jessie Usher, and Brent Spiner.

INDEPENDENCE DAY: RESURGENCE will be released in theaters Friday, June 24.

We always knew they were coming back. After ‘Independence Day’ redefined the event movie genre, the next epic chapter delivers global spectacle on an unimaginable scale. Using recovered alien technology, the nations of Earth have collaborated on an immense defense program to protect the planet. But nothing can prepare us for the aliens’ advanced and unprecedented force. Only the ingenuity of a few brave men and women can bring our world back from the brink of extinction.
