Apparently, when Independence Day first came out, the studio ran an ad for the flick in Spain where they actually hired a real anchorwoman from Spain’s equivilent of CNN and had her talking about the alien invasion expected for July 4th. This set off a nationwide panic as the promotional piece was a little too believable. I believe this bit of trivia to be true, but I have to have someone look up how the movie did in Spain as opposed to countries which did not get a movie advertisement-inspired fright pre-release. Happy fourth to my American readers.
