In 2012, Roland Emmerich is attempting to destroy the world again!

His aliens in INDEPENDENCE DAY couldn’t do it. The evil Egyptians from millions of light years away in another universe were unsuccessful in STARGATE.

Not the big monster he re-created for GODZILLA. Not even the threat of another ice age in THE DAY AFTER TOMORROW.

But in 2012, the year that the Mayans said we would all perish, maybe Emmerich might finally destroys us all.

Variety say that a script written by Emmerich and his collaborator on his latest movie 10,000 B.C. (released on 7th March) is been shipped around studio’s after several execs were impressed with his latest but undisclosed “apocalyptic” idea, and nearly all of them are meeting with Emmerich TODAY to hear his budget and creative inspirations. Whoever decides to pull the trigger on the movie, will have a Summer 2009 ORIGINAL tentpole to unleash among us.

Remember THE DAY AFTER TOMORROW and INDEPENDENCE DAY made no less than $1.3 BILLION combined, so it’s no surprise there is a bidding war over this. Wonder what “end of the world scenario” Emmerich has cooked up this time.

I’ve heard mention of a super volcanic eruption possibility. He has been quoting as stating a natural disaster of some kind. Planet X has also been mentioned as well. I wish some hint would come out because I would hate for it to be played up big and then be disappointed by it. Although, if it involves anything like that of Independence Day and its type of characters, it will still be awesome. I think it maybe the long await ID4 sequel to coincide with 2012. Call it ID4 2012: The Second Wave. Whether or not you could get everyone back for it would be an issue and it would have to knock your socks off, like ID4 did!

Personally, I like the concept of time travel being involved and dooming the Earth, but that might be too much for Emmerich. Never seen him do one on that basis, so you can rest assured it will either involve aliens, natural disasters or both. No matter what, it’ll be fun!
