Fresh off revealing that the new Independence Day movie will be officially titled "Independence Day: Resurgence," 20th Century Fox has released a new image giving us our first look at one of the powerful spacecrafts that'll be used in the film.
The new vehicle, which looks super fancy and high tech, is reportedly called The Moon Tug, and is supposedly used in the movie by Jake Morrison — the new character being played by Liam Hemsworth. Speaking during a special press conference, Hemsworth shared some details about his role — his character's history and how he came to take the helm of the alien-like spacecraft.
According to the actor, Jake was orphaned at a young age because his parents were killed during the the first alien invasion in 1996. He eventually joined the miliary and grew to become an ace fighter pilot; but, a big ego and a bad decision took its toll. Hemsworth explained (via Cinemablend):
"His ego kind of got in the way, and he made a bad mistake, a bad decision. He kind of put someone’s life at risk, and he got the great job of driving this Moon Tug – which is basically a forklift on the moon, where he gets to move around different pieces on the moon, which is not really an exciting job for a fighter pilot like himself."
It just so happens that Cinemablend also snapped a photo of another vehicle in Independence Day: Resurgence — one of the miliary's hybrid jets that's partially made with alien technology left over from the 1996 invasion.
I can't wait to see the dogfights this thing will engage in with the aliens. Unfortunately, that may be quite a while as Independence Day: Resurgence isn't set for release until June 24, 2016.
