Celebrate Independence Day with our IDR set visit preview!

Last Updated on January 20, 2026

A few weeks ago I was lucky enough to be invited to the New Mexico set of INDEPENDENCE DAY: RESURGENCE for an absolutely amazing set visit. While everything, including interviews with the cast and director Roland Emmerich, is under embargo for the next few months, to coincide with July 4th, our ace video editor Nick Bosworth has thrown together this nifty little set visit preview including some images and video from the set which I’m now allowed to share.  From what I’ve seen, IDR is going to be a major event and I can’t wait to share more goodies from the set. Until then, here’s a video to tide you over. Also don’t forget to check out Jeff Goldblum’s new Facebook and Instagram accounts.
