‘Independence Day 2’ Licensing Poster Takes Aim At Planet Earth
WhenRoland Emmerichfirst unleashedIndependence Dayon the world in 1996, major cities were under attack. Washington DC, New York, Los Angeles — each city was leveled when a city-sized spaceship set off a blast over an iconic building. InIndependence Day 2, it seems that idea is being expanded globally. A nice licensing poster for the film shows the aliens back in Earth space, but not floating over cities. This time, they’re floating over the entire planet.
Below, check out the firstIndependence Day 2poster and read a synopsis that offers a few more details.
Here’s theIndependence Day 2poster viaCollider
See what we mean? The aliens are not messing around this time. Basically though, this poster is a mix of elements used at all stages of the marketing of the firstIndependence Day. The earth in the first teaser, the angle of the ships in the second, the dominance and laser of the third. (Thanks toIMP Awardsfor the classic posters, all of which were on my wall in 1996).
We’vealready written extensivelyabout what you can expect in the 2016 sequel but,Collideralso uncovered a synopsis of the film. There’s not much new here but it’s a bit more non-spoiler than what we’ve posted in the past.
AfterIndependence Dayredefined the event movie genre, the next epic chapter delivers global catastrophe on an unimaginable scale. Using recovered alien technology, the nations of Earth have collaborated on an immense defense program to protect the planet. But nothing can prepare us for the aliens' advanced and unprecedented force. Only the ingenuity of a few brave men and women can bring our world back from the brink of extinction.
