A Twitter account is recapping the classic sci-fi action movie Independence Day in real time in honor of the Fourth of July. Released in 1996, Roland Emmerich’s alien invasion movie ID4 became a massive summer blockbuster, grossing $817 million worldwide.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT With Americans getting set to celebrate their own independence on the Fourth of July, a Twitter account is paying tribute to one of the great 1990s action movies, recapping the original Independence Day in real time as if it were actually unfolding. Check out a sampling of tweets from @1996ID4 in the space below:
Independence Day 3 Will Probably Never Happen Though Independence Day was a smash at the box office, Emmerich and company were unable to follow it up by launching a franchise. When ID4 did finally get a sequel in the form of Independence Day: Resurgence, it wasn’t until 2016, and Smith was no longer involved. Unsurprisingly, the movie was a flop that grossed just $389 million. Recently, Independence Day star Vivica A.
"I really feel we missed out by not bringing Will Smith back. We had most of the original cast, but I think the one true link that was missing to the success of ‘Independence Day 2’ was that Will Smith wasn’t there. I’m going to keep it real — I was at the premiere and I was like ‘Mmm, let’s see how the fans are going to feel about this.’ And sure enough on Twitter, they blew me up."
Emmerich for his part has said he has plans for Independence Day 3, and in 2021, expressed his hope that after Disney’s merger with Fox, it would be possible to make the movie happen on Disney+. Down-scaling Independence Day for the small-screen would seem an ill-advised move however, given the spectacle of the original movie and how much the big-screen experience played into its success.
