Jackson takes Noah and Lily on a camping trip to Yellowstone National Park, where they meet Charlie Frost, a conspiracy theorist living as a hermit and hosting a radio show from the park. As three arks set sail for the Cape of Good Hope, Jackson reconciles with his family and Adrian starts a relationship with Laura.
We said to Mark, Why don t you do a TV show that picks up where the movie leaves off and call it 2013? I think it will focus on a group of people who survived but not on the boats . They join the group and secure an Antonov 500 aircraft, fleeing just as Las Vegas is destroyed.
Review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes reports that 39% of 212 critics have given the film a positive review, with a rating average of 5.1 out of 10. Peter Travers of Rolling Stone criticized the film by comparing it to Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen: Beware 2012, which works the dubious miracle of almost matching Transformers 2 for sheer, cynical, mind-numbing, time-wasting, money-draining, soul-sucking stupidity. Shave Magazine said 2012 is another end-of-world movie which touts the usual message: even if nature takes over to wipe us out, humanity shall prevail. The film was ranked 3/5 stars. Speaking to Entertainment Weekly, Emmerich confirmed that a television series based upon the film is in the works. The family returns home as cracks develop along the San Andreas Fault in California and large earthquakes occur in many places along the West Coast.
This campaign was subjected to numerous criticisms, and was regarded as a form of viral marketing. The film received mixed to negative reviews from film critics, but topped the international box office in its first weekend with $225 million. According to the studio, the film could have been completed for the summer release date, but the date change would give more time to the production. The DVD and Blu-ray for 2012 were released on March 2, 2010. 2012 opened at number one with an estimated $65 million on its first weekend, and with $225 million at the worldwide box office in its opening weekend.

When the global floodwater from the tsunamis eventually recedes, satellite data shows that Africa s elevation rose in relation to sea level, and the Drakensberg mountains in KwaZulu Natal are now the highest on the planet. The film stars John Cusack, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Amanda Peet, Oliver Platt, Danny Glover, Thandie Newton and Woody Harrelson.
With the Vice President also dead and the Speaker of the House missing, Anheuser takes over as acting president. Arriving in China in a crash-landing that kills Sasha, the group is spotted by the Chinese People s Liberation Army. There are so many possibilities of what they could do and I d be excited to watch it. However it seems, 2013 will not come about, at least with Emmerich s vision.
They now head to China, also bound for the arks aboard Air Force One are Anheuser, Adrian, and First Daughter Laura Wilson. This results in an onslaught of Doomsday event scenarios plunging the world into chaos.
I just have a certain quality level and they didn t go for it, and then some people did it cheaper. Still, for all that s happened, Emmerich understands that such is the nature of the business. A mega tsunami approaches the site as tens of thousands are still attempting to board the final ark, and a large impact driver becomes lodged between the gears of the ark s hydraulics chamber, preventing a boarding gate from closing and rendering the ship unable to start its engines.

He mentions Stargate in this exclusive interview with Movie Blog: It was very early, he said, referring to the comments he made last year. did the outline and when the TV station knew what we really wanted they said . A similar situation arose when Emmerich was approached to bring his Stargate to the small screen.
Charlie references a theory that suggests the Mayans predicted the world would come to an end in 2012, and claims he has knowledge and a map of the secret ark project. In the ensuing chaos, Yuri, Gordon, and Tamara are killed, and the flooded ark is set adrift.
Charlie, who stayed behind to broadcast the eruption, is killed in the blast. The scientists are now certain that global tidal fluctuations have ceased.
The film centers around an ensemble cast of characters as they narrowly escape multiple catastrophes in an effort to reach ships in the Himalayas, along with scientists and governments of the world who are attempting to save as many lives as they can before the disasters ensue. The film was promoted in a marketing campaign by a fictional organization, the Institute for Human Continuity ; this entailed a fictitious book written by Jackson Curtis titled Farewell Atlantis, and streaming media, blog updates and radio broadcasts from the apocalyptic zealot Charlie Frost at his website This Is The End. The film briefly references Mayanism, the Mesoamerican Long Count calendar, and the 2012 phenomenon in its portrayal of cataclysmic events unfolding in 2012.
The Guardian criticized the marketing effectiveness as deeply flawed and associated it with websites that make even more spurious claims about 2012 . The studio also launched a viral marketing website operated by the fictional Institute for Human Continuity, where filmgoers could register for a lottery number to be part of a small population that would be rescued from the global destruction. Comcast had also organized a roadblock campaign to promote the film, where a two-minute scene from the film was broadcast across 450 American commercial television networks, local English and Spanish language stations, and 89 cable outlets within a 10-minute window between 10:50 PM EDT/PDT and 11:00 PM EDT/PDT on October 1, 2009. 2012 was originally scheduled to be released on July 10, 2009. Singer Adam Lambert contributed a song for the film titled Time for Miracles and expressed his gratitude for the opportunity in an interview with MTV. On November 12, 2008, the new studio released the first teaser trailer for 2012 that showed a tsunami surging over the Himalayas and interlaced a purportedly scientific message suggesting that the world would end in 2012, and that the world s governments were not preparing its population for the event.

It was distributed by Columbia Pictures. The series is tentatively titled 2013, and will serve as a sequel to the film. Emmerich states in the interview, The plan is that it is 2013 and it s about what happens after the disaster.
The release date was changed to November 2009 to move out of the busy summer schedule into a time frame that the studio considered to have more potential for financial success. The Curtis family, Gordon, and Tamara, who do not have tickets, are picked up by Nima, a Buddhist monk on his way to the arks.
That s just how it happens. Learning that the arks are in China, the group lands in Las Vegas, where they meet Yuri, his sons, girlfriend Tamara, and pilot Sasha.
The trailer ended with a message to viewers to find out the truth by searching 2012 on search engines.

When I was asked to do a TV show Stargate I had the same problem. Stargate SG-1 Solutions Live Journal states: There was a lot of talk that Roland Emmerich (who along with Dean Devlin brought us Stargate, the original movie) was going to make a TV series as a spin-off of his movie 2012, set following the world s devastation, but now it appears that what he pitched for the show was too expensive.
