It was the science fiction disaster epic of the 90's - so it is no surprise the sequel to Independence Day is being waited for with great expectation.

And stoking the fire for the expected 2016 release, actors and the director from the film released a number of teaser trailers to give a small taste of what to expect.

Jeff Goldblum and director Roland Emmerich both posted the shorts to social media on Saturday.

Teaser: A number of short trailers have been released to stoke up anticipation of Independence: Resurgence, which is due for release in 2016

And the short clip also appeared on Independence Day : Insurgence's official Facebook.

One of the short clips shows a young boy sitting hunched over holding an American flag. Above him is the image of a space ship - one similar to those seen in the first alien invasion.

It shows the quote: 'We're fighting for our right to live.'

The director captioned he shot: 'The enemy returns.'

The sound effect is one of static interference as it then switches to show the hashtag:. IDR.

Jeff Goldblum's teaser shows a city scape with the phrase: 'We are fighitng for our right to live. To exist' across it.

It also flickers to the same IDR hashtag with static interference.

Appearance: President President Thomas J Whitmore played by Bill Pullman from the first movie, features in another trailer

He posted the clip to Facebook and his brand new Instagram account captioning it with the ominous warning: 'We thought we wiped them out. The Resurgence is here. #IDR.'

Goidblum is returning to the film as David Levinson.

He posted his first Instagram and Facebook posts last week with co-star Liam Hemsworth on set and captioned the shot: 'So there I was thinking about how I would save mankind when this guy photobombs me. Oh, why hello Facebook, nice to finally meet you.'

A third teaser shows an image of President Thomas J Whitmore played by Bill Pullman from the first movie.

He is superimposed over an American flag with the quote: We will not go quietly into the night. We will not vanish without a fight! We are going to live on! We are going to survive!

It is part of the President's address to the fighter pilots in the original film before they head off to battle against the alien invasion.

Independence Day: Resurgence picks up after the last movie, sometime in the future.

The planet has united together to use the alien technology which they harnessed from spaceships and data left by the invaders after the last attack, in a bid to protect the globe from another invasion.

However they are soon threatened with an alien onslaught so huge it looks very much like the Earth will not be able to withstand it.

The cast, who are currently shooting the sequel in New Mexico, gave a talk last week about the new movie and what to expect.

Joined by director Roland Emmerich, it gave an indication of the sheer scale of the movie saying:

It is a post world war generation which is unified.'

Will Smith,who played Captain Steven Hiller in the original, is not returning to reprise his role.

Emmerich told the NY Daily News in 2013, he would be 'too expensive' and 'too much of a marquee name.'

Instead his son will feature Dylan Hiller, played by Jessie Usher.

The actor said his portrayal has been influenced by Will's character: 'He grew up in the world that his dad saved. You can only imagine what being the son of the world's saviour is kinda like.'

Emmerich revealed: 'We deal with the disappearance of Will Smith in a very kind of respectful manner he is still part of this universe.

'But it is mainly a kind of handover from this generation to the next.'
