One of my all-time favorite movies is 'Independence Day.' I've watched it at least 25 times. Never gets old.

And now, 20 years later, it's back. Or should I say, they're back. They, meaning those extra-terrestrials, hell bent on destroying the planet. Much of the cast is returning, including Jeff Goldblum, Bill Pullman, Jud Hirsh, Vivicia A. Fox and Brent Spiner. Wait, wasn't Brent's character killed in the original movie?  Also joining the cast is Liam Hemsworth and Sela Ward, among others. Nope, no Will Smith. Rumor is, his character died in 1997 due to an unknown military accident.

With so much Sci-Fi action in the first movie, it had me on the edge of my seat, and I'm pretty sure the next installment will do the same after watching the newly released trailer.

That trailer is below, and it's sends a chill up your spine whether you're a fan of the original or not. Take a look at what the next installment will be like when it's released to theaters on June 24th, 2016, and get ready to "kick the tires and light the fires, big daddy!"
