Danny Glover For President!!


Merrick here...

Danny Glover, Thandie Newton, and Oliver Platt are joining the cast of 2012, Roland Emmerich's most recent end-of-the-world happytime jamboree.

Glover will play the President of the United States - Newton his daughter, and Platt his Chief of Staff. The trio join the already cast John Cusack and Chiwetel Ejiofor.

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