A livestream offering a Q&A with the cast & crew of the new INDEPENDENCE DAY movie is unfolding tonight on the film’s official Facebook page (HERE).
It happens at 6pm CST / 7pm MT / 8pm CST / 9pm ET. A promo graphic pimping the event is now making the rounds. ‘INDEPENDENCE DAY LIVE’ sounds like an awesome Arena Spectacular…I'd totally see that.
This embed of the livestream is currently dormant, but (in theory) should spring to life when festivities unfold...

Members of media who recent visited the film’s set were introduced to the notion of something called ‘ESD’ - short for Earth Space Defense. This would seem to tie into the picture’s recently released official synopsis, which read (in part)…
Using recovered alien technology, the nations of Earth have collaborated on an immense defense program to protect the planet.
A gloriously Toho-feeling notion which makes so much sense in the ID universe. Can’t wait to see how it plays out on-screen…
INDEPENDENCE DAY 2 (it’s gotta have a better title coming, no?) opens June 2016.
