We all know this one is on its way with a recent live stream happening last month that unveiled its drab name and cast, and for the past few months director Roland Emmerich has been forever Tweeting out boring updates from the set. Some of the original cast will return with the most notable absentee being Will Smith, who may have made his best career decision to date (and thatʼs saying a lot considering After Earth). I can fully understand the reasonings behind making this sequel considering Independence Day was a big hit and a step forward in the use of CGI in movies, but those two reasons alone donʼt equate to us actually wanting this movie. I, for one, will likely miss Resurgence when it's released. Firstly, no sequel to the 1996 movie is required simply because the first was such a straightforward piece of storytelling with a defiant ending. Secondly, it may feature the returns of Jeff Goldblum, Bill Pullman, and Vivica A. Fox, but Resurgence will attempt to hand-off its story to cast newcomers - Liam Hemsworth and Jessie Usher - which is a Hollywood tendency that never bodes well. What other proposed sequels look utterly dire? Share any we missed down in the comments.
