The film reunion continues as Roland Emmerich announced today via Twitter that Bill Pullman and Judd Hirsch will be reprising their roles as the former President and the father of Jeff Goldblum’s character David, respectively.
They join the previously announced Vivica A. Fox, Liam Hemsworth, Jessie Usher, Charlotte Gainsbourg, and Jeff Goldblum.
Director Roland Emmerich will return to helm the film. Independence Day 2 is set for release on June 24, 2016 — almost exactly 20 years from when the first film hit theaters on July 3, 1996. Dean Devlin, Emmerich and Harald Kloser are producing. James A. Woods and Nicolas Wright wrote the most recent draft.
