Latest 2012 Trailer: Impressive CGI, But Will That Be All?

Latest 2012 Trailer: Impressive CGI, But Will That Be All?

The second trailer for Roland “disaster film” Emmerich’s apocalyptic 2012 has premiered online today, and we have it for you here. Now I’ll be honest and say that the grand vistas of destruction shown in this new trailer are very impressive, but the problem is that Roland’s films seem to rely on 80% “cool shots” and 20% plot and character.

Before I go on, check out the trailer below…

New Posters For 2012 & Terminator Salvation

A pair of new posters for Terminator Salvation and a new one-sheet for 2012 have arrived and we have them here for you to see.

The two Terminator ones are a little brighter then we’re used to be they keep within the same color scheme and style we’ve seen in the previous posters. They’re nothing special but they show us a Terminator unit and the two main characters and that’s all they really need.

First Teaser Trailer For ‘2012′

First Teaser Trailer For ‘2012′

MovieFone has premiered the trailer for Roland Emmerich’s next big all-style-and-no-substance popcorn movie: 2012. They have high res and HD versions over on their site, but we have a smaller one for you right here.

As usual, Emmerich looks like he’s putting out another movie that has special effects that will be a CGI visual feast, but (and yes, I know it’s to early to tell) I’m betting it’s another “check your brain at the door” movie.

Studios Ramp Up Production Prior To SAG Strike

As it stands, Hollywood studios are deadlocked in their contract negotiations with the Screen Actors Guild. That news stirs up foul memories of a year ago, when the Writers Guild of America was at a similar juncture with the studios… Soon after that there were no TV shows for about half a year.

And we all know what that did last year’s TV season.

2012 And The Ghost Of Irwin Allen

2012 And The Ghost Of Irwin Allen

There’s a synopsis and review of the spec script for Roland Emmerich’s end of the world disaster movie 2012 that Sony bought before the writers’ strike over at Latino Review. It is completely spoiler-filled so I’ll only give the highlights here.

Since it’s an Emmerich film and that pretty much guarantees it will be awful, I didn’t mind reading the full thing.

Irwin Allen is best remembered for having pretty much invented the disaster movie genre with such films as The Poseidon Adventure and The Towering Inferno. To make sure he covered all the bases he went on to produce made-for-TV-movies with titles like Fire!, Flood! and Cave-In.

Yet More ‘Real’ Actors Join Roland Emmerich’s 2012

Yet More ‘Real’ Actors Join Roland Emmerich’s 2012

Danny Glover, Thandie Newton and Oliver Platt are in negotiations to join the cast of Roland Emmerich’s forthcoming disaster movie 2012. They will join the already solid line up of John Cusack and Chiwetel Ejiofor.

Glover is in negotiations to play the president, Newton would play his daughter and Platt’s agents are hammering out a deal so that their client will play the president’s chief of staff.

The president and the chief of staff - hmmmm I’ve never seen these characters in a disaster movie before.

I’d also bet good money that Newton will play Cusack’s love interest.

John Cusack Plus Roland Emmerich = 2012

John Cusack Plus Roland Emmerich = 2012

John Cusack has just signed on the dotted line to star in Roland Emmerich’s global disaster movie 2012.

Also in talks for the film is the bane of my spell check - Chiwetel Ejiofor, the English actor has also delivered solid support in films such as American Gangster and Children of Men.

The plot of the film involves the destruction of the world as we know it, and the struggle of the survivors.

The title of the film comes from the Mayan calendar, as they believed that the world would end in 2012. Hence the reason why this movie is being “rushed into production” for 2009.

Yes, that was a joke.

However, if it is true then it might have a major (deep?) impact on life as we know it. Sorry to panic you!

This sounds like something that Emmerich could do in his sleep following films like Independence Day, Godzilla and The Day After Tomorrow. However, what is John Cusack doing in this?
