Independence Day (franchise)

Proposal for a new article for Indepenence Day series Talk:Independence Day (book series)#Independence Day (franchise).--NeoBatfreak (talk) 02:31, 16 June 2016 (UTC)

Alternate history film?

Would Independence Day count as an alternate history film? The sequel does, as it confirms the dates in which events take place in this alternate, fictional reality. It also retroactively gives a time frame for the events of this film. However, I don't specifically see anything in this film that confirms it is an alternate history one. What would you folks say?

Nah - based on that logic every film ever released that takes place prior to <insert current date here> is an alternate history film. Is Stripes an alternate history of the Cold War? It should be... Chaheel Riens (talk) 10:42, 23 June 2016 (UTC)

It certainly falls under the genre description, but really we need reliable sources that classify it as such. Are there any that support the claim? --GoneIn60 (talk) 23:48, 23 June 2016 (UTC)

So far as I know, only for the sequel, I'm afraid. DARTHBOTTO _talk•cont 09:45, 25 June 2016 (UTC)

Is that Fred Melamed as the director of SETI that bumps his head when he wakes up? I do not see him in the credits here or in IMDB. --Richard Arthur Norton (1958- ) (talk) 19:45, 29 July 2016 (UTC)
