A damn cool trailer regarding THE DAY AFTER TOMORROW!

Published at:  Mar 04, 2004 11:17:06 PM CST

Hey folks, Harry here... Massive destruction of mankind has no greater friend than Roland Emmerich. Some people think of these films as disastaploitation, Recently, a story hit that the Defense department has classified and reported to Bush the very real threat of Climate Wars as being the greatest threat to National Security that the United States has ever faced. The Pentagon report apparently claims that in 15 years or so, it is likely that the England could be less foggy and more like Siberia. That is what this film is about... The time when the oceans rise, the temperature falls and the climate declares war on the world as we know it. Science Fiction? Or the inevitable? But that's ok, as the President says, we can just turn up the Air Conditioning... Our summers will get longer, but really... who doesn't love summer? Ahem... Anyway, you can read the story for yourself at: this location! This isn't a political issue, but a survival one. To see Emmerich chime in on all of this Click Here

    please go back to Germany and never come back again. Take Dean Devlin with you, too, please.

    Siberia is not the frozen wasteland that so many people seem to think it is. Only a small sliver along the northernmost portion has an arctic climate. The vast majority of this huge area features weather comprable to the northern United States and southern Canada, which means warm, pleasant summers and nice, snowy winters. And Jimmy, Bush deserves to be bashed. God forbid we allow people to have any rights. I mean, dammit, why the hell is he so concerned about gay people getting married? Leave them the hell alone, let them have the same rights as everyone else. Bash away at that dumbass, and vote for Kerry in November (even though you all should have voted for Edwards in the primaries). Oh, and I guess back to the subject, disaster movies are always good for at least one viewing, so I'll check this out.

Something about shit blowing up, cars flying around like leaves, and people running from mass walls of distruction just makes me happy. What botheres me is... how will the current Wash DC conservative ran america will view this disasploitation film in it's post-9/11 world. I can see shit hitting a fan about how showing nationally recognized places in New York getting destroyed is too early and innapropriate for audiences. Just like the narrow minded fuks who started petitions online saying The Two Towers was an offensive innapropriate name for a film. LOL It's because too many narrow minded arrogant fuks in this country need to wake up from a reality check like 9/11 and these disaster films. It's because your useless, trite, and take up wasted space on his planet. Roland... bring on the global clensing films!!! :) Ugh I forgot my meds today...

    by woodystiffer

    Because he's a complete dumbass! It only took the media four years to get on track and stop blowing the guy. His administration has been a disaster. Here's a moron who chooses to focus on STEROIDS IN SPORTS in his State of the Union address rather than the healthcare problem, economy, environment, etc, etc. Not only that, but his other concern is trying to appease the freaky religious neo-cons and their bizarre stance against gay marriage. Our constitution guarantees equal rights under the law, but I guess that's only as long as the religious right approves of your lifestyle. Shameful! Take a look at the guy's track record, rather than listen to talk radio rhetoric, it's abysmal.

If they had the recordable media we had now back then I think the story of him would be LOTS different... can we say or compare to another person who had dellusions and heard voices in his head... David Koresh. I rest my case.. now back to Roland clensing the earth of the useless in his films. :)

    It never ceases to amaze me how these big studios will go all out on a tried and true formula, but will cheapen out on a good story or something that hasn't been done before. I mean do we really need another diaster flick about the destruction of the world AGAIN? Did Hollywood learn nothing from "The Core"??This Day After Tomorrow movie no doubt looks great FX wise, but I see this type of film as a safe route for a studio. Yeah we'll pour a 150 million on this story, and awe the audience with the special effects, jeez give me a break already, this is so done. I hope FOX puts a tremendous effort in F4 if they actually make it.

It's like big-budget potpourri, and it's going to suck, because it just reeks of ripoff, not to mention that IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH SCIENTIFIC REALITY!!! But why bother, really?

    Imagine this whole storyline really was the second film to ID4. The aliens came back to of course get revenge for being stopped before. So now since they see us as a threat they change from wanting to use our planets resources to just wanting to all our destory us this time. So an even bigger mother ship comes this time, but stays a safe distance away from earth, however radiates an unseen by our technology of energy on our earths poles causing all this chos to happen on our planet. Wow talk about cool.. and then at the very end last vew minutes of the film the three main casts from ID4 arrive (Will Smith, Jeff Goldblume, and the prez) in one of the alien crafts from Area 51 scanning for survivors of all this chaos with a voiceover saying "only few knew how this truely happened... but that was there story, there revenge... now... we will finish ours!" Screen fades to black hinting a final film of course since hollywood is cliche' being a final space oriented film againsts the aliens. God I'm good!!

  • Is Emmerich that fascinated disaster movies? He's done it twice; one an arguably mediocre tentpole flick, and "Godzilla" -- a disaster both in genre and box office. This is going to be just as benign as "The Core," and as chessily sentimental as "ID4." I puke. ALSO, that Jake Gyllenhaal (Tobey Maguire Jr.) is one overrated dude. He should start campaigning for the "Darko" sequel, "DD II: Frank Eats a Carrot."

  • Not interested in a big political flame about Bush v. Kerry, we all have our own opinions and every charge leveed by one side has an answer by the other. We're all just parroting the talking points of our party of choice. I WILL make one point though, I've seen a few on this thread blasting Bush for being against gays, labelling him some neo-con religioso tyrant. ALL these Liberals CONVENIANTLY forget KERRY'S (And even 2nd place Edwards')repeated stance AGAINST GAY MARRIAGE TOO! Your so-called democrat savior turns his back on the gay people in his party so that he can get votes come november. IN EVERY DEMOCRATIC DEBATE they had, Kerry has come out AGAINST gay marriage. He doesn't want the constitutional amendment, but he still doesn't want to make it legal (read: wants to pass it off on states so he can escape having an actual opinion on it). Plus, Bill (the liberal Godhead) Clinton signed the Defense of Marriage act HIMSELF. Liberal hypocrisy at it's best.

    Yes, there is a middle American ideal that cities are bad, but I don't think that's why we're seeing these disaster movies set in big cities. Simply put, more things to go boom. A few houses getting wrecked by a tornado is not as exciting as a large tidal wave crashing toppling a couple skyscrapers. As for your example, a church in Kansas doesn't carry as much symbolism as the White House; smashing our capital building was a display of power. Smashing a church is a display of, well, "we don't have enough money to smash anything cool."

    by dorfer

    If we want a fun movie, we need a 2 hour romp that flies in the face of science. If we want something "accurate", then we might be looking at an unwatchable movie. Or we could just look outside. I love how all the changes in the climate occur in the matter of a few days, or a month, or even a year. The change in energy is so great! How could that happen "overnight"? The real question is, can we adapt to these changes at a comparable rate? __________ I couldn't help but think about The Core and Deep Impact (I try to forget Armageddon) while watching the trailer. That doesn't mean this movie will rip those off, but those same effects and stunts get people into the theaters. So, yes, we've seen this before. But it's more Core/Deep Impact than ID4. We the people of the world screwed up and now we must pay for it. ________ RetroStyle, I really don't think movies represent some "middle America mentality" about cities being evil. No, instead I think these movies represent natural disasters that would most likely affect coastal cities first. Not only that, but California is sitting on a moving hole in the world. Seems appropriate that LA, NY and San Fran would be among the most recognizable cities to be destroyed by these oceanic and tectonic catastrophies. Althought it'd be neato to see Savannah leveled... just for something different. ___________ As for the Bush/Kerry/gay/hypocrisy... Isn't it funny that so many people get up in arms about stances against gay marriage and not ONE Democratic candidate ("for the people") speaks out in favor of allowing gay marriage? Who's representing this voice? It's too testy a subject, and these spineless candidates have to pander to the morally righteous. I believe there should be equal rights under law... fuck "under god". Who cares? We're talking about law here. Keep your god to yourself. -d

    About that article in The Guardian

    by frankcobretti

    The Guardian blows. Here's a related article from The New York Times, edited somewhat: "An Abrupt Climate Change Scenario and Its Implications for United States National Security," on the other hand, was written recently by two consultants for Andrew W. Marshall, the Pentagon's legendary guru of long-term threat assessment. Mr. Marshall said he commissioned the unclassified study after reading a 2002 report from the the National Academies of Science, the country's top scientific advisory group, which pointed to risks of future climate shocks. The report suggests that slow warming of the planet, by melting ice and flooding the North Atlantic with fresh water, could disrupt the ocean currents that keep Europe and easternmost North America far warmer than they would otherwise be. Scientists say this actually occurred twice, 11,500 and 8,200 years ago, after the last ice age, when, within a decade or two, temperatures plunged after melting ice sheets fed fresh water into the Atlantic.
    The Pentagon study (available at: www.ems.org/climate/pentagon-climate-change.pdf) is not as dramatic as Mr. Emmerich's film, but it was alarming enough that a British newspaper, The Observer, proclaimed: "The Pentagon tells Bush: climate change will destroy us. Secret report warns of rioting and nuclear war. "
    Most experts caution that the data on past changes and current trends are spotty and that computer simulations a pale shadow of the real world. Peter Schwartz, one of the consultants who conducted the study for Mr. Marshall under a $100,000 grant, said his analysis was intentionally extreme and aimed at forcing military strategists to "imagine the unthinkable." Most scientists he and his co-author, Douglas Randall, consulted said it was extreme both in magnitude and its global geographic reach.
    "The Day After Tomorrow," on the other hand, goes beyond the extreme, depicting global warming as a force that will rapidly overwhelm modern civilization.

    I will make the sequel: The Day After The Day After Tomorrow.

    by fluffyunbound

    My sequel is set 15 years after all this freaky shit happens. The world population is down to about 150 million. Basic features of the industrial era - electricity, medicine - have been built up again at a level consistent with our society in the year 1925 or so. But the consumer society is gone. It's really kind of a "My Dinner With Andre" type sequel because all that happens is that everyone sits around and talks about how happy they all are to have won the survival lottery, and how much better the world is now that the rest of you fuckwads are gone and all of your trash has been swept away by tidal waves and glacial scouring and the like. Kind of the like the moment of serene happiness in "Farnham's Freehold" before all the bad shit goes down, except it's world-wide and there is no second act. Silence and Peace and Space. OK, so it's not very commercial. But maybe the IFC will like it.

    Bush-bashing and the neo-cons

    by lamerz

    Neo-cons, the new and hip leftist code word for the 21st century. Sad that they couldn't come up with something better. To the moron who said Bush chose to focus on steroids in the SotU speech, what fucking speech were you listening to?? He made a reference and called on sports to come down hard on abusers. I think he spent far more time on the economy and health care than steroids. Get a clue, and stop taking stupid cheap shots. Oh, and I love how these "neo-libs" can't stand anyone disagreeing with them on gay marraige, so any stance they disagree with is called bizarre and hate-mongering. Love how you stick up for free speech and debate. People can have opinions, as long as it is the same as yours, huh? Some people say "why can't they just marry if they love each other?" How about you libs tell me, why does it have to be marraige? What the fuck is wrong with a civil union? Leave marriage the way it is, man and woman before God. (Oh no, I mentioned God, I must be a neo-con religious fucking freak!!!) Bush will destroy Kerry in November, and you can quote me on that.

    The problem with Bush-bashing...

    by fluffyunbound

    ...is that the bashers focus on the wrong items. Everyone bashes him for the invasion of Iraq and his tax cut package, both of which I would support again if we had a do-over. Those are the GOOD things he has done. No one bashes the huge expansion in federal spending under his administration. He should be bashed for his Medicare expansion - but the only complaint the left has is that he didn't spend ENOUGH. He should be bashed for his immigration policy - but the only complaint the left has is that he didn't reward illegal immigrants ENOUGH. He should be bashed for No Child Left Behind - but the only complaint the left has is that it's an unfunded mandate and as such competes for funds with raises for the teachers' unions. Sure, Bush has been a bad President - but everything he's done wrong, the left would do wronger. So that leaves us with nonsense like "Ashcroft wants to take away abortion rights" and "Christians want prayer and creationism in schools" and crap like that which not only will never happen, but wouldn't really have that much of an impact on life if they did. Environmental policy? Forgive me, but the difference between 15 parts per billion of arsenic and 30 parts per billion of arsenic does not make for a dramatic battle of ideologies in my book. If the climate change theorists are right, IT'S ALREADY TOO LATE. That's what you fail to understand. The difference between the Republican Party and the Democrat Party DOES NOT MATTER. The difference between 27 MPG fuel standards and 35 MPG fuel standards is an irrelevancy. It's bailing water with a thimble on the Titanic. 1000 more acres of Arctic Reserve DOES NOT MATTER, one way or the other, to biodiversity when a fucking Chili's or Appleby's is built on farmland every day. There are only 2 possibilities now: that climate change won't happen, and it was all a mirage OR that climate change will happen, that it's already too late, and the remnants of the earth will belong to whoever was richest, smartest, best-prepared, and most willing to crush their weaker neighbors to take their resources. Keep your fingers crossed. But arguing about whether the marginal difference in emissions of this or that greenhouse gas between Bush's plan and Kerry's plan is foolish, and acting like you are saving the planet because you support Kerry is self-congratulatory masturbation.

    Here's a lesson, little boy. Neo-con is not a hip liberal codeword for the 21st century. I recall first seeing it used in a conservative publication in the early 90s.

If I was wrong on that point, and loberals didn't actually CREATE the term, then fine, I concede. Regardless, you missed the point. The point was that neo-con IS in fact the hot lib code word in the 21st century and constantly used in a derogatory fashion against conservatives, many times subtly implying racism, sexism, classism, or whatever other ism-based bald faced lie the left likes to apply to conservatives.

    Ayler et al

    Here's some good geakdom for you. Michael Crichton makes some good points here. It is fallacy to say that science is 100% united on the global warming deal. Certainly worth study, but no one has the answer and it doesn't help to deliberately keep opposing views out of the public eye.

    (This portion not addressed to Ayler, who appears to be a reasonable person...)
    As far as the Bush-Kerry nonsense goes. If you throw out KKK, nazi, blood for oil, florida 2000 crap it is convenient because you immediately ID yourself as an idiot and not one to waste time on. Ad Hominem attacks are the last refuge of the intellectually challenged, kind of like "your momma" and "I'm rubber, you're glue." We all don't have to agree with everyone's postion on everything but it helps not to be an ass about it. A little independent OBJECTIVE research goes a long way too...on both sides.

    Brilliant Title

    by ribbons

    I don't know how the movie itself's gonna pan out (it's at least an interesting concept), but the title 'The Day After Tomorrow' is perfect for selling a movie like this. The FX looked fairly decent, although I don't know why the fuck they decided to computer generate a pair of howling wolves, maybe in order to create some continuity when the animals start going apeshit. And the adventures of the climatoligist are most likely going to be exaggerated (runaway snack cart! Aaaah! Yelling at suits! Aaaaah!), but as far as disaster movies go, at least the idea for this one came from something semi-conceivable and topical.

    Neo-Con doesn't mean new conservative it means

    by justice41

    Jew!, It means Jewish Conservative. If you check whom the term is directed at it's William Cristal, Richard Pearl and all those Hawkish Jews. So you can hide your hate behind words but lets face it Your all abuncha Racist Anti- semites If you use the term Neo-Con.
    Let me ask a question here, If you put icecubes in a glass and add water to the brim, when the ice melts will the cup overflow? Science class 101. All the water on this planet is the same water that's always been on this planet whether in ice form or liquid. It isn't melting ice that will cause problems. It will be land mass movement. The earths outer surface is constantly shifting. It takes a generation to see the results, but it's happening. Only sudden eruptions cause massive changes quickly. If we had under water Volcano's that were all over the planet and they added more mass to the oceans floor then we would have massive water displacement just like we have when we have eathquakes under the ocean and the results are sunami's.
    About the Gay issue. I always here Gays and other Liberals whining about the government and the church getting into their bedrooms. They always spout off about people trying to tell them how to live their lives. Now they have done a reversal Like John kerry. Now they want us to accept their definition of normal as normal. Their sex life as Normal. Their telling us that because they are normal that we must be abnormal. They want to tell us that we need to accept what they see as their rights. Normally if you didn't agree with a law you petitioned to get that law amended. Why do they want to break the law. I thought they wanted to be accepted as normal in society. How can yo expect to be accepted as normal when you introduce your new normalcy through law breaking. Ignorance of the law is no excuse to willfully break it.
    I'm gathering footahe of John Kerry as he gave speeches on the Senate Floor and on the stump. I'm gonna try and do a commercial that I can sell to the campaigns. Remember that episode of old Star Trek where they had these two dueling guys?
    One had white and black features and the other had black and white features. But because they had the colors on different sides they hated each other. Well my idea is to cast Kerry as two sides of Both sides of every issue. I'm also planning on doing one of him in Vietnam then comicng home. One a hero the other a traitor to his fellow military comrades. the next will be him voting for the Iraq war then voting against the Funding. For gay marrige when he voted against the defense of marriage act that Clinton Signed into law then him stating he was not for Gay marriage. I hope I can get these done soon. Hopefully my friend can edit them slick enough in Final Cut. I may be able to make some dough. So what ya'll think, sound good?

    So Much Rhetoric, So Little Logic

    by roboteer

    From a non-religious conservative ... Bush does blow, but only because he's far too LIBERAL. But if he lied and misled us about WMD, so did Clinton and so did Kerry. Check the facts. //There IS inequality in this country based on WHO you are. There's all kinds of stuff I don't qualify for... affirmative action, welfare for women with dependent children, medicare, etc. For the record, homosexuals and lesbians have the same rights and limitations everyone else does, to marry someone of the opposite sex. Most everyone would agree to equivalent same-sex civil unions, but that isn't enough politically. Because marriage implies mainstream acceptance. The fact that same sex marriage doesn't effect me personally is no argument. Neither does parent/child marriage, group marriage, dog and pony marriage. None of which are very admirable ideas either. //If we're in the business of Empire, we suck at it. We're the only power in history where the occupied countries extract tribute from us instead of vice-versa. The best thing to happen to foreigners is to lose a war to the US, have us defend them, rebuild them, and never leave. Who beat us? North Korea, Viet Nam, and Cuba, who today are the darlings of the left, but have a combined economy less than New Jersey.// The buildup of CO2 in the atmosphere could be a problem maybe a few centuries from now, or maybe not. Temperatures are still within recent historic variables as are weather extremes. But it still isn't clear that humans are having any measurable effect. Even if so, to make any significant change would require devastating the economy and hurting those least able to afford it. A few mild winters and a little beach erosion seems a small price to pay for now. Ice Ages are by far a bigger concern. One should be careful, as the Environmental Movement has been co-opted by anti-Capitalist Marxists seeking nothing good for our country. Where is their outcry about third world countries wrecking the environment? Europe is now finding they could not meet Kyoto either (which they also did not ratify). //Allies are overrated. With no USSR we no longer share the same goals (like sucking up to Saddam). Any time we need their support, they have their hand out. Militarily, they're useless. We're economic competitors, not friends. LET them be afraid instead. Does the world think we're dangerous? I hope so. It isn't protecting every vital target that's the answer to terrorism, because it can't be done. The answer is massive retaliation. Khadaffi caved because we gave him the idea he was next. Aggressive use of force is something the Axis of Evil understands. So, the neo-cons are mostly right for the times.// Liberals and socialists are Utopists who want a world to be free of pollution, poverty, inequality, hatred, racism, war, etc. Self-righteous ignorant crusaders who believe they have the lock on group morality because THEY care, as long as (like Kerry) it's not their money. Left to rule, the result is the same doom that the children who left for the original Crusades met. We do what we all can to make this a better place, but the rest of us live in reality. Pity a world without a benign US to keep the peace and buy their crap. Enjoy while it lasts, because there are forces here and abroad who want nothing less than to make us defenseless and tear us down.

    Gay marriage...

    by bachalon

    Let's look at it like this. No, you don't have to go to church to get married, so that makes obtaining a marriage certificate (shock and awe) a civil matter. And as for saying 'civil unions are the same,' no they're not. Using the word 'marraige' may be too big a push towards a mainstream accpetance that isn't there, however, that doesn't mean that it's the same thing. What's the difference between the two? RIGHTS. That's correct, RIGHTS. There are a myriad of rights conferred on married couples that are not granted to homosexual civil unions. Next you're going to tell me that inheritance and hospital visitation are part of the crop of 'special privileges' people seem to think homosexuals want accorded to them? As a man that happens to be homosexual, I just want to say, that line of thought is fucking GAY.

    My god - I've finally found one: a freak who believes in the Bush regime: Lamerz.

    Dude, you're a fucking moron and you don't even know it.

    The Gay Marriage issue is bigger than it may appear to your warped mind. Whether we call it a civil union or Gay Marriage, it's all the same thing. Your freakish religious beliefs have no place in this century, let alone in the governing of our nation. What you religious nutbags don't seem to realize is this: neo-cons deciding that gay marriage is "not appropriate" is essentially deciding that "all men and women aren't equal under the constitution". It's bigotry you freak. The sooner you realize that you're fucked in the head, the sooner you'll be on the road to recovery. No one wants to listen to your hatred. You're just a 21st century retread of a 20th century racist. It's nothing new. Society has to get past you morons to progress.

    Once Dubya has his ass kicked out of office, the nation will be on the road to recovery. Every now and then an extremist regime may seize power, but it's only a matter of time before common sense prevails.

    Apparently they're planning to overthrow the ruling military junta and reorganize the entire economy towards re-creating the world of Krull on the island of Madagascar. They want to be as true to the text as possible and so have forsaken CGI completely, chosing to instead train armies of thousands and bulldoze the capital city of Antananarivo to build the Beast's enormous Black Fortress. Literally tens of thousands will be enslaved and forced to make Krullslayer costumes for the production.

    Yes I will see the movie cause it looks interesting. As for global warming and this "pentagon paper" that many on the left keep harping about. What many forget is that man has only kept metorlogial records for the last 150 years... Thats right for 150 years. That is a the equilvalnet of a 1/50th of a second of a full year. Yet we hear all this shit about global warming, global warming, global warming... And the only way to stop it is for everyone to go back to the horse and buggy while the Greenpeace activists of the world still drive v12 Merccedes. I mean Howard Dean has addmitted that he drives 2 V8 Gas Guzzling Ford Explorers...That right liberal ACINers your Idol drives the very vehicle that is trasing the planet. And no he does not plan on giving it up.

    Still think global warming is a dire threat and we got to elect John Kerry? Well 35 years ago you know what the envriomentalists were worried about? No not global warming but Global COOLING! Were were told that by 1990 world wide mean tempature would drop 7 degrees and thus push us into the next ice age. Greenpeace Eco-Warriors were runnig around screaming everytime the tempature dipped under 32F that the next Ice Age was at hand thus we need to rasie taxes, elect more democrats and give up our lifestyles while Paul Erlich and Ralph Nader fly around in thier private jets.

    The talkbacker who said a single volcanic eurpution pump out more C02 in a day than the entire US industrial output does in a year, is correct. When Mt. Pinatubo erupted did winter go away? No... In fact this year the northeast is on its way to breaking a snowfall record. Just like 1996 broke the previous one. Last year it snowed in April on the New England coast...If you are really worried about global warming then you had best get off line, give up your cell phone, palm pilot, DVD player, Computer, 1968 VW van (pollutes more than a 2004 Chevy Suburban) and a Moby Concert (Moby uses more fossil fuels in one concert than I do in month) he's electircal demands are enormous and what do you think powers his concert...Oil,Coal,Natural Gas....
