It looks like we will have to wait another year before aliens return to destroy us all. The sequel to Independence Day has been delayed a year from to July 3, 2015 to July 1, 2016.
This move works for the movie in two different ways. First, it will move the sequel out of the overcrowded summer of 2015 which will see the release of The Avengers: Age of Ultron, Batman vs. Superman, Terminator 5 and Pirates of the Caribbean 5. Second, it will have the film releasing almost twenty years to the day of the first one. Independence Day released on July 3, 1996.
Director Roland Emmerich has said that there are two scripts written for the movie depending on if Will Smith signs on for the sequel or not.
