Suspect's Reviews

Yeah, I think he meant it might as well be a sequel, which I'd agree with.

I might be in the mood at some point in July of 2009 to spent $8 to see CGI buildings getting totally destroyed, but that's about as far as the appeal goes. It'll be eye candy, I imagine, but I'll have to tune out all the, you know, talking and stuff.

Dialog isn't important in film anyways, we should just go back to the days of silent film where you had to read three or four lines to understand the whole film.

As for this film 2012, I do agree, it sound an awful lot like Day After Tomorrow. Which means that I'll hold out minimal hope that it will be entertaining.

I don't know how this film will be, but the idea of a film around the Mayan's calendar and their prediction could be pretty interesting and fascinating.

I was watching a show about this on the History Channel with my son and he got so freaked he told me to turn the channel. I was like, "why?" and he replied, "because I don't want to die in 2012!"

I tried to reassure him by saying the Mayans were probably wrong.

I hope.

Danny Glover, Thandie Newton and Oliver Platt may be making a date with "2012."

The actors are in discussions to join Columbia's epic disaster project, which Roland Emmerich is directing.

"2012" centers on a global cataclysm and tells the heroic struggle of the survivors.

Glover is in talks to play the president, with Newton in discussions to play his daughter. Platt is in negotiations to play the president's chief of staff.

John Cusack and Chiwetel Ejiofor already are on board.

Emmerich is directing a script he penned with his "10,000 BC" co-writer Harald Kloser. He is serving as an exec producer with Michael Wimmer and Ute Emmerich.

Kloser is producing with Mark Gordon and Larry Franco. Columbia's Matt Tolmach and Rachel O'Connor are overseeing for the studio.

"2012" was shopped around with a $200 million budget, but Columbia said it will be made for less than that.

The studio is planning a July 10, 2009, release, with filming set to begin in July -- unless there is an actors strike.

Glover, who is set to make his directorial debut with "Toussaint," is repped by ICM and Jeff Monroe Management.

Newton, who is repped by WMA and Magnolia Entertainment, is now filming Oliver Stone's "W," playing Condoleezza Rice.

Platt recently finished Judd Apatow's "Year One" for Columbia and is filming an untitled Nicole Holofcener project for Sony Pictures Classics. He's repped by Endeavor

I heard a clip from his newest film, 10,000 BC in which the characters speak English.
