Trailer Premiere: Roland Emmerich's '2012'
Filed under: Action, Sci-Fi & Fantasy, Fandom, Movie Marketing, Trailers and Clips
The first teaser trailer for Roland Emmerich's 2012 has just arrived online, courtesy of Moviefone, and from the looks of it the director has returned to his most successful end-of-the-world form for this film about the Mayan prophecy that predicts the world will end in the year 2012. Starring John Cusack, Amanda Peet, Thandie Newton, Woody Harrelson and more, 2012 will follow a group of survivors as they deal with the catastrophic events occurring on their planet as the world as they know it slowly comes to an end. In addition to this teaser, you can Google 2012 and surf through tons of information about the prophecy -- including this site, Institute for Human Continuity, which allows users to register for a lottery number to ensure their chance of survival once that dreadful day arrives.
2012 is due in theaters on July 10, 2009, and you can find out more about the film over on its official website (which just launched with this teaser). Watch below, or over on Moviefone in glorious HD. Thoughts?

I have to say that it is incredibly foolish to believe that the world will end on 2012. I hope it does well, though it looks like another "The Day After Tomorrow" movie.

I'm definitely not a Roland Emmerich fan, considering how often his movies tank. Once I read an article about how daring and bold his apartment design was, and how chaotic and abstract all his decorations were, like a table made from a wing of a WWII plane and a statue of the pope in a chair under his stairway.
I've always hoped he could make a film as bizarre as his apartment, and this might be the one.

I agree, Chris. Kubrick rolling on his grave and blasphemy on the guy that made Godzilla and that America rules all crap: Independence day. Plus, can't wait for 2013 so I can mock, once again, all those idiots who believe in dumb prophecies. One day they are going to run out of predictions, 2000 came and went, no problem...

my guess is that this movie will probably disappoint but i'm a sucker for big budget end of the world movies so i'll be there opening weekend. nevertheless, isn't this a rehash of day after tomorrow and deep impact with the flooding resembling day after tomorrow and the lottery resembling deep impact's storylines.

I hope he uses some of the material out there about what people suspect may happen-- such as Planet X coming, or a global awakening. Anything would be better than the played-out end of the world flood.

Emmerich is taking a very complex topic and using it as background for a generic disaster movie. We just made a documentary called "2012: Science Or Superstition." Anyone truly interested in the 2012 predictions might want to visit http://2012DVD.com to learn more.
Thanks Erik.
