Always wanted to see the news coverage of the Invasion, the segments really showed everything that was happening around the world but was barely shown in the movie in favor of American cities and yet the production put great effort into segments that at the time were to be never seen and just play in the background. Love that they have been brought together to create a alternate 1995 where aliens invaded.

It might have been some cut sequences that may or may not have been filmed that some of these belonged to. It’s clear some well known late 80s and 90s character actors were used but never included in the film, like the middle aged white guy that was the NYC mayor’s aide in Ghostbusters 2.

[@townicus5908]

Do love these news reports, a real effort in world building for these sorts of movies so rarely seen. Part of me would have loved news reports from when the Aliens started their attacks though. Update: Following Godzillaman's comments I found this on IMDB ''In most versions shown in cinemas and also the ones available on video, scenes are missing that stress the global dimension of the alien attack. In these scenes, international tv-journalists report about the devastation in their respective countries, and the destroying of international cities is shown (e.g. Paris). The cast list still contains some of these reporters, e.g. it names Jessica Cardinahl as German reporter, and also Korean and Russian reporters. These scenes were interesting, as they illustrate that the aliens are not an American problem, but a global one''

[@Godzillaman]

I read that there or actually several more of these news broadcast made that were set during and immediately after the attack. They did not show the attacks themselves, but showed things like distraught and traumatized news anchors reading eyewitness accounts of the attacks.

It's a shame they didn't have live news coverage as the alien ships arrived, I would've thought all cameras would be rolling. Also at 17:45, I recall seeing a list of affected cities and there were plenty of cities in Latin America & Africa that were attacked by the first wave of alien ships. They showed, English, Russian, German, & Korean news channels but would've loved to see Spanish news as Mexico was part of that first wave of arriving alien ships.

[@DaveS_shuttle]

Actually, if you look closely, you can see that the center of the ship is located some distance away from the Washington Monument. The camera is looking north-northeast, so the ship is directly over the White House. The Washington Monument is located pretty much due south from the White House. Center-to-center is roughly 3000 ft (914 m). And if you way in the background on the right-hand side, the building with the three lights on the horizon, that's the the Capitol Building.

Independence Day: Resurgence whatever supplemental material for it through caution to the wind and said a lot of cities in the southern hemisphere like Rio de Janeiro, Nairobi, Perth and Jakarta were all destroyed.

At 0:22:02 - the broadcast is actually in Korean, not Chinese.

I’ve never seen any of this before, aside from the clips you see during the movie itself. All I remember seeing was the Super Bowl teaser trailer where they blew up the White House, and then the tag line appears that says, “Enjoy the Super Bowl. It may be your last”. Did these make it to tv or anything?

I remember my dad telling me that they used to interrupt regular broadcasts in my country and play these news segments which caused panic haha They were utterly confused when this aired 😂
