What a surprise, Roland Emmerich is making yet another movie about the end of the world and now he's taking John Cusack and Chiwetel Ejiofor along for the ride.
John Cusack has signed on to topline Roland Emmerich's apocalyptic thriller "2012" for Columbia Pictures.
"Redbelt" star Chiwetel Ejiofor also is in talks to join the big-budget epic, whose title refers to the end days of human civilization as foretold by the ancient Mayan calendar.
Story kicks off with a global cataclysm, which brings an end to the world as we know it, and chronicles the heroic struggle of the survivors.
Emmerich and Harald Kloser penned the screenplay, which Sony bought in February.
Shooting will begin in July in Los Angeles, barring a Screen Actors Guild strike.
