HOLLYWOOD, June 23 (UPI) -- Independence Day Resurgence has been dubbed the new official title for Roland Emmerich's sequel to the 1996 original starring Will Smith. The Monday announcement comes alongside a brief teaser trailer of the film.
Photos from set, including a group shot of the cast via selfie-stick held by cast member Jeff Goldblum, were also released on Emmerich's Facebook page Monday. The director posed with a spacecraft from the film he calls the Moon Tug -- a frog-like space vehicle with a still-mysterious purpose.
