Sci-Fi Trailer: Roland Emmerich’s 2012

No one destroys the planet like Hollywood. Oh sure, other countries may dabble in disaster and end-of-the-world movies, but let’s face it, when it comes to orchestrating global, planet-ending mayhem, no one does it better than the tech wizards of Hollywood. Which is why Roland Emmerich’s “2012″ is probably going to leave you gaping slack-jawed at the screen as cities are engulfed by oceans, skyscrapers tumble, and John Cusack does his best Tom Cruise impression. Actually, it’s a bit strange to see Cusack in such a big event movie. Mind you, not that you’ll notice much, at least not with all the destruction Emmerich is going to be throwing at you throughout the film. Check out the first full trailer for “2012″ and marvel at mankind’s ability to envision his own destruction. Bravo, special effects guys, bravo.

An academic researcher leads a group of people in a fight to counteract the apocalyptic events that were predicted by the ancient Mayan calendar.

Starring John Cusack, Thandie Newton, Woody Harrelson, Amanda Peet, Morgan Lily, Danny Glover, Oliver Platt, Chiwetel Ejiofor, and George Segal. Roland Emmerich (”The Day After Tomorrow”) directs.
