Will 12/21/12 be the end of the world as we know it? According to the predictions of an ancient Mayan calendar, December 21, 2012 will be the day of the Apocalypse, and 2012, a new movie directed by Roland Emmerich, gives us a glimpse at what that day could look like.
2012 isn’t Emmerich’s first venture into doomsday films. He is known for his disaster and action movies, including “Independence Day,” “Godzilla,” and “The Day After Tomorrow.”
2012 is an epic adventure about a global cataclysm that brings an end to the world, and follows the heroic struggle of the survivors.
The trailer shows stunning visual effects depicting the destruction of cities Emmerich is noted for. The film stars John Cusack, Amanda Peet, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Danny Glover, Thandie Newton, Oliver Platt and Woody Harrelson.
Look for 2012 to hit theaters on November 13, 2009.
