The cast for Fox’s Independence Day 2 is coming together with the announcement that Jessie Usher has signed on for a role. Usher is the star of the Starz series Survivor’s Remorse, which is created by and executive produced by Mike O’Malley and executive produced by LeBron James, and has also starred in When the Game Stands Tall and the TV series Level Up.

The actor will play the son of Will Smith’s character in the original 1996 blockbuster, which was one of the movies to help Smith break out as a box office superstar. At the moment Smith is said to not be reprising his role as Captain Steven Hiller, the military pilot who helped to take down the alien mothership nearly 20 years ago. Ross Bagley, who is a little over three years older than Usher is, played Smith’s son Dylan in the first movie.

A movie version of the hit video game Spy Hunter has been in the works for a while now, with no luck getting it through to production yet.

Dwayne Johnson and directors like John Woo and Paul W.S. Anderson have been attached to the project at one point or another, and now Warner Brothers is ready to give the movie another chance at making it to your eyes.

The studio now has Ruben Fleischer attached to direct the movie, and they’re brought in a new writer in Carter Blanchard to pen the script.
