It’s become common these days for big films to have comic-book tie-ins that either expand the universe of the story or serve as a prequel to fill in details before the opening credits roll. Independence Day Resurgence is taking the latter route, with The Hollywood Reporter hearing from Titan Comics that a comic book is in the works.
It makes sense for the film, which is set 20 years after the events of the original, to have some story strands spread across a comic to avoid every character having to stop the scenes for some exposition (not that we won’t see plenty of it anyway). So far, the exact details of the new title are a mystery – we don’t know what it will be called, who the writing/art team will be or when it’ll arrive in stores. But somewhat surprisingly, Editor Steve White does mention that it’ll be a rich psychological prison drama with "a golden opportunity to segue nicely into next year's blockbuster sequel by taking the mythos of the original and maybe adding a little darkness to it." Which has us wondering who exactly is in prison and how that ties into the new movie’s story...
With Roland Emmerich once more directing, this time working from a script by Carter Blanchard, James A. Woods and Nicholas Wright, the film features Jeff Goldblum, Bill Pullman, Judd Hirsch, Vivica A. Fox, Brent Spiner returning to their roles plus ID newbies Liam Hemsworth, Charlotte Gainsbourg, Jessie Usher, Maika Monroe and Sela Ward. Independence Day Resurgence arrives on June 24, 2016.
