John Cusack in talks for Roland Emmerich's '2012'

I thought 10,000 b.c. did good, I personally thought it was a good film.

First of all Whitley Stribers book focuses on the the bad things that may occur on that day its more of a doomsday book. Where as Rollands film may be more family friendly. Secondly the Mayan calendar doesn't predict the end of earth but "the end of the earth as we know it" meaning a time of great changes will come to pass not end.

I'm reading the Whitley Strieber novel of the same name now. Pretty interesting.

No anonomous, The Day After Tomorrow was pathetic. All CGI and no substance. Same with his other movies.
Forgettable. Give the project to someone who can handle it.

In this case, calling the movie '2012' is pretty much inevitable, since the movie is about what happens on or around December 21, 2012, the date that the Mahan calender predicted that the Earth would end. What else could they call it? "The Day After Some Day Four Years From Now"?

And whoever is funding him probably hopes that Emmerich will make another "Independence Day"

The Day After Tommorow was a fantastic movie you muppet.

Is he going through some sort of middle-aged weird thing?

What was John Cusack thinking?

Sheila Levine Mon, May 19, 2008 at 04:42 PM EST

Absolute nonsense. Never give a book or movie a date as a title! Roland's last film flopped horribly, and Day After Tomorrow was one of the worst films ever made. Who keeps giving this guy money to make movies?
