“I’m a gay man,” he said, “and being perceived as feminine was always looked down upon when I was growing up – but in the Scream franchise, I saw strong, smart women who were both fierce and feminine at the same time.” It’s no secret that the Scream franchise has amassed a large queer following in the 25 years since its release, and Ayllon is a part of that following.
IS WILL SMTH IN THE MOVIE INDEPENDENCE DAY RESURGENCE SERIES
That’s exactly what happened when photographer David Ayllon met his new niece, giving him an idea for a photo series celebrating his favorite horror franchise. While certain segments of fandom can undoubtedly be a little toxic, sometimes that extreme passion for a particular IP can birth (pun intended) a wonderfully creative endeavor. If you’ve seen the new Screamfilm ( review), then you’ll know that fandom is a major focus of the film’s social commentary. It’s just my own personal crazy mind spinning in crazy ways. Perhaps they also found medical and other uses as well? Maybe Hiller is alive because of this? Note, none of this is official or even rumors. The whole movie is about how Earth and humanity begin using alien technology to better their defenses. While the mystery may have been answered here, I’m not 100% convinced that a cameo isn’t still out of the realm of possibility. He is survived by his wife Jasmine and son Dylan. Hiller’s valor in the War of 96 made him a beloved global icon whose selfless assault against the alien mothership lead directly to the enemy’s defeat. While test piloting the ESD’s first alien hybrid fighter, an unknown malfunction causes the untimely death of Col. Hiller which explains that he died while test piloting the first “alien hybrid fighter”. In the timeline, there is a specific piece dedicated to Col. So, the above mentioned website is basically a timeline of events that have occurred between 1996, when the aliens arrived and attacked Earth, and the second invasion, which will be shown in summer of 2016. If you don’t want this ruined, don’t read below the video. Alas, that’s not going to happen and the reason for this has been revealed via the website. Independence Day: Resurgence arrives in theaters June 24, 2016.With the release of the Independence Day: Resurgence trailer ( watch here), many people are wondering if we’re going to see a cameo from Will Smith and his character Col. It shouldn't be too hard for the writers to come up with a retcon. And if Smith eventually changes his mind? We're talking about a movie universe in which aliens exist. Killing him preempts those conversations. As long as Hiller is alive, fans will be clamoring for Smith to return – if not in this movie, maybe in the next one. But it came as a slight surprise to learn he'd been killed off completely. In retrospect, though, it's probably smart.

It wasn't too shocking, then, to hear that Hiller was sitting out Independence Day: Resurgence. "Well, you know, like near the very beginning, I wanted to work with him and he was very excited to be in it," he said, "but then after a while, you know, he just was tired of sequels and he did another science-fiction film, which was his father-son story, so he opted out." Last year, Emmerich explained Smith's choice. Smith went back and forth for years on Independence Day: Resurgence before ultimately deciding to pass. It was terrible when I found out my character died." I'm going to be sitting around with tears in my eyes when that one comes out. " Roland and I had talked about it." Smith continued: "The trailer looks really cool. "I was working on Suicide Squad during that time," he said of the Independence Day: Resurgence Shoot. But he's a major enough character that the films can't just ignore his disappearance, so last month, we learned the in-universe explanation. According to the Independence Day: Resurgence viral website (spoilers ahead, if you consider details released half a year before a film's release on an official viral website to be "spoilers"), Colonel Steven Hiller was killed while testing the world's first alien hybrid fighter jet.Ĭhatting with Yahoo! to promote his new movie Concussion, Smith commented briefly on his decision not to return as Hiller. The real-world explanation for Hiller's absence from Independence Day: Resurgence is that Smith simply didn't want to do it. Read the Will Smith Independence Day: Resurgence comments after the jump. In an interview, the original Independence Day star admits it was "terrible" to learn of his character's fate - though also like you, he managed to enjoy the trailer anyway.
