Congrats to Liam Hemsworth, who has just been officially cast in the upcoming Independence Day sequel. Most of you probably don't remember the original because it's actually almost 20 YEARS OLD! Can you believe that? Now I feel ancient. The 1996 original was a massive hit (2nd highest worldwide gross at the time) and starred Bill Pullman as the US President. Liam will play his son in the sequel. The movie, which is also being called Independence Day Forever, will be released June 24, 2016.
