- TalonTear, on 06/24/2008, -0/+20Roland Emmerich's scripts shouldn't have movies.
- SaladCactusKing, on 06/24/2008, -0/+16EXT- Desert, Crashed UFO
Will Smith faces Dead Alien
Will Smith: Welcome To Earfff
*Crack* The furious kick of the fresh prince of Bel Air solidifies the extraterrestrial beast's fate.
Fade To Black - tombonneau, on 06/24/2008, -1/+14The only thing missing from that plot is a clone of Adolf Hitler.
- AshamedAmerican, on 06/24/2008, -1/+12You lost me at "Roland Emmerich's".
- Ryan166, on 06/24/2008, -1/+11Sounds like a sequel to "The Day After Tomorrow"
- MrTito, on 06/24/2008, -1/+10The ultimate disaster movie would be a documentary about Roland Emmerich's ***** ass career.
- koreaski, on 06/24/2008, -1/+8what? rampant christmas shopping?
- DrCrankenstein, on 06/24/2008, -4/+11Interesting disaster back story... I hope it doesn't suck.
Are we in for another early-2000s wave of disaster movies? I hope not. - petebot, on 06/24/2008, -0/+6"Two Days from Now"
- KevinJ, on 06/24/2008, -0/+6That's 2112
Not 2012
+10 Bravery for Rush reference - explnx, on 04/27/2009, -1/+7Every 394 years (12*12,000 days) the Mayan calendar cycles, this will be just like the one 400 years ago. There is no forecast of doom involved.
- MogulKhan, on 06/24/2008, -1/+7How did the 2012 superstition gain such popularity anyway?
At least Y2K had some reason behind it. - Pillage, on 06/24/2008, -0/+5Is that the temple of syrinx?
- orientis, on 06/24/2008, -3/+8There is a book called Decipher by Stel Pavlou. I thought that book managed to sum up all the speculation about 2012 into a nice coherent storyline and always thought it should be made into a movie.
This movie looks awful. - sanman, on 06/24/2008, -0/+5this movie sounds like a catastrophe
- mushoo, on 06/24/2008, -0/+5Why do they keep using the Aztec Calendar in every single story/rant about the Mayan Calendar? You know it helps your credibility regarding the subject at hand (and I know this is just a movie) if you at least get the calendar right.
At least they got the temple of Kukulcan right on this one. - clayasaurus, on 06/24/2008, -0/+5"The day before the day after 2012"
- smek2, on 06/25/2008, -0/+4Who in the world gives Roland Emmerich money to make movies? It seems all he does are crappy disaster movies lately. Apart from 10.000 BC, which simply was disastrous movie.
- th3wiz4rd, on 06/25/2008, -0/+4Well, they also weren't accurate on a lot of things:
From Wikipedia-
"The Maya held the belief that cenotes or limestone sinkholes were portals to the underworld and sacrificed human beings to please the water god Chaac. The most notable example of this is the "Sacred Cenote" at Chichen Itza where extensive excavations have recovered the remains of 42 individuals, half of them under twenty years old." - clickfire, on 06/24/2008, -0/+4Obnoxious popup ads on that site
- sgiffy, on 06/25/2008, -0/+4At telling time or predicting the future? Because it is only good at one of those.
- sgiffy, on 06/25/2008, -0/+4A made up unit of time.
- FearFactory, on 06/24/2008, -1/+5Another Sci-fi channel exclusive
- Betrayal, on 06/24/2008, -1/+5Emmerich sucks. I had to stop watching 10'000 BC after 10 min. it was that bad and i even torrented it because i was predicting it would be a EPIC FAIL.
I agree with the Article, the script sucks and the movie will suck too. Same old Same old. - koreaski, on 06/24/2008, -2/+6goddamn. stop letting this guy make movies. he's not up for anything that isn't going to be awful
- inactive, on 11/13/2008, -1/+5He's got it all wrong. Planet X is going to collide with ERF
- dafragsta, on 06/25/2008, -0/+4Independence Day, 2012: The Day After Tomorrow
- beyondinfinity, on 06/24/2008, -0/+3"48 Hours from Now"
- verkon, on 06/24/2008, -1/+4What the hell is a baktun and how long is it?
- xptweakerntn, on 06/24/2008, -3/+6Well...to end all speculation, lets hope we all (in the US) live through the next four years of Obama OR McCain (either way, I feel were screwed) so that we can all find out exactly what happens in 2012.
- drunkjack, on 06/24/2008, -1/+4Harlan Ellison's description of Roland Emmerich (Who at one point wanted to direct a movie version of Ellison's novella Mefisto In Onyx) as speaking with a German accent "in valley girl speak" has always struck me as hilarious and apt. The guy makes movies like a vacuous teenager would.
Who told John Cusack this was a good career move? Fire that dude.
On top of that the whole Mayan Calender thing is blown way out of proportion, first, if they were so damned smart...why aren't they still around as a culture? And second, calender's often RESET. It'd be like pretending the end of this year means the end of the world.
Stupid ***** hippies and new age douchebags. - forgiste, on 06/24/2008, -1/+4um, no. There is also a much longer cycle composed of 13 baktuns. We are approaching the end of the 13th baktun.
- clayasaurus, on 06/24/2008, -1/+4Because the Mayans had a more accurate calendar than what we currently use, and 2012 ends the mark of the great cycle for the Mayan calendar.
- clayasaurus, on 06/24/2008, -0/+3And because news teams do a great job putting fear in people, people expect an apocalypse.
- Ozzsanity, on 06/24/2008, -0/+3What happens in 2012 is why the priests are in control 100 years later.
- Spaceboy492, on 06/25/2008, -0/+3Quick! Hide the guitar behind that waterfall or else!
- Disgod, on 06/24/2008, -1/+3Yeah, a whole lot of kittens will be killed, but that's an average Thursday for me.
- lonelily, on 06/25/2008, -0/+2I agree. If something happens at all, it just means there will be changes of some sort. Perhaps a major world power will fall or something of that nature.
- drunkjack, on 06/24/2008, -1/+3Roland Emmerich is like Uwe Boll's directorial father.
Apparently, if you have a German accent, every dumb ass idea you have sounds better.
Vas is das?! - monkbot1, on 06/25/2008, -0/+2YYYYAAAAAAWWWWWWWWNNNNNNN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
- rkho, on 06/24/2008, -3/+5Listen.
This is Roland Emmerich we're discussing. Which is why I'm baffled as to how this even made the front page. The man is a nobody. His movies suck. If Uwe Boll and George Lucas had a child together, he would be named Roland Emmerich.
10,000 BC was disgusting. I had a coworker believe that it was a remake of Caveman. Yes, Caveman. Of all things.
Day After Tomorrow was a piece of garbage. You don't tackle apocalyptic stories with a stupid romance subplot and incompetent actors.
Godzilla was an embarrassment which spawned a stupid cartoon series.
Independence Day didn't even deserve its visual effects Oscar.
Roland, go back to Film School 101. Actually, just quit. To think this man tried to dethrone Steven Spielberg and direct Transformers. He's better off directing Transmorphers for The Asylum. - Disgod, on 06/24/2008, -1/+3No, but the neighbors are pissed!
- rkho, on 06/26/2008, -0/+1Ahem. 10,000 BC tried to be some EPIC action blockbuster... released in March. Day After Tomorrow tried to be an EPIC disaster movie. It was a disaster, alright. It's not my fault Roland Emmerich tries to make his movies on an epic scale and fails to deliver. So you know what? It IS not what it's trying to be.
- inactive, on 06/25/2008, -0/+1For the last ***** time, It isn't doomsday. It's the end of an age.
- inactive, on 06/25/2008, -1/+2Nope, just a horror fan.
- SquigglyP, on 06/25/2008, -1/+2just by looking at the poster I can tell this movie isn't going to be historically accurate.
- inactive, on 06/25/2008, -0/+110,000BC was totally accurate. This movie (2012) will predict the future, I'm sure of it.
- bcorder, on 06/25/2008, -0/+1seriously. wasn't their a Clive Cussler novel that was almost the same plot except they were going to cause the extinction through doing something far fetched to melt the polar ice caps?
- shawnanigans, on 06/25/2008, -1/+2I think its Klingon for ridiculous prophesy.
