In November, 20th Century Fox green lit a sequel to the 1996 science-fiction blockbuster Independence Day. Only took a few decades. That was great news for fans of the film, but there was one disappointing bit; Will Smith wasn't going to return for it. That means they need to go out and bring in some new blood.

The Wrap is reporting that Liam Hemsworth, who is best known for playing Gale Hawthorne in The Hunger Games franchise, has been offered the starring role in Independence Day 2, aka ID Forever.


Plot? In September of 2013, Emmerich told Empire, "It’s a parallel history. Humans rebuild whatever they have – bigger, newer, shinier – and then they forget. Maybe, 20 years later, [the aliens are] never coming back…"

Independence Day (1996) - One of the biggest box office hits of all time delivers the ultimate encounter when mysterious and powerful aliens launch an all-out invasion against the human race. The spectacle begins when massive spaceships appear in Earth's skies. But wonder turns to terror as the ships blast destructive beams of fire down on cities all over the planet. Now the world's only hope lies with a determinded band of survivors, uniting for one last strike against the invaders - before it's the end of all mankind.

It kind of doesn't matter who's in it as long as Jeff Goldblum is.

So the same story but sent in the future? Meh.

This film needs Will Smith or at least the Goldblum.

The day started off great with the awesome F4 trailer but then came the casting for Indy, Ghostbusters, and this and the day was ruined.

Two things:
1.) We STILL don't need an Indeoendance Day 2.
2.) There's going to be a large media backlash of replacing Will Smith (a minority actor) with white Liam Hemsworth.

He was in Paranoia...and yes, I somehow ended up in a situation where ...in my own house...it was playing on dvd on the bigscreen (sniffle)...and I saw it...I saw the movie called Paranoia. And I was so ashamed. Sometimes films are so God-awful bad that you stare in amazement after they're over and later start laughing. It becomes fun to deride them. Not so, Paranoia. That was like...worse than The Star Wars Holiday Special. -That, at least, is fascinatingly funny to watch, although still cringe-worthy. Paranoia had Ford and Oldman...but still, it sucked. It sucked SO hard. Leeches the size of GALACTUS never sucked this hard.
I almost began question Chris Hemsworth's status in the universe because of his proximity to Liam Hemsworth. So I am not taking this Independence Day 2 stuff very well, especially since I lost all interest in that film back in the 1990s.

I saw Liam, and thought it was Liam Neeson. Cast him instead.
