Here's A Clip From 2012!!
Merrick here...
MTV posted a clip from Roland Emmerich's 2012 over the weekend - an extension of a sequence glimpsed in the film's trailer in which a car drives out of a low-flying cargo plane.
The embed originates HERE, where you can also find a short interview with Mr. Emmerich.

More of the same crap
-
I concur
-
another movie about the apocalypse. How about a killer shark movie? Zombie Epidemic? C'mon, Cusack, you're better than this.
-
With a music sequence wit baby 'zillas! (From Robot Chicken.)

stick your head into your oven and turn the gas on.
-
2010. Is Roy Scheider's dessicated corpse in this ?
-
Cusack better than that? Are you talking about the same Cusack?
i used to love this guy, but the last 5 years-he's made some awful films.And, THIS actually looks very ENTERTAINING -
is about the least interesting thing I can imagine.
he and wolfgang peterson can go fuck each other. -
The more I think about that io9.com fake trailer, the more I'm convinced these disaster flicks require bongo music. It makes all the difference!
-
F@#$K them all for posting on the INTERNET and thinking they can restrict access to region(s)... why post on the net then?
-
in some stinkers. Also, some so so flicks. Which is exactly why I'm saying he can do better than this. Entertaining, maybe. Same bullshit Apocalypse flick hitting the screens? Definitely.
-
...damnit.
-
And I'm not talking about the dog
-
Indeed.
-
Being normal I don't watch shit in my toilet or shit on the sidewalk, so why watch shit in a theater, on tv or on my dvd player?
Boycott the fuckers until something worthwhile is made. By that I mean quality product that is NOT designed to appeal to the common teenybopper idiot.
GIGO bitches GIGO! -
Why does that scene come off like some family adventure film. I thought this movie was about the end of the world.
-
like that ever actually works.
-
look at Cusack's face. He made his career with that expression.
-
Mass destruction? Check. Impossible stunts ripped off from other movies? Check. Awkward comic relief courtesy of a marble-mouthed German? Check. Interest in watching any more of this film? Fuck no.

Why is the lever to open mechanical doors so hard to flip?
by dixieflyer
You would think an engineer would not require 100s of lbs of force to flip those levers, but they show up that way in every movie with an "emergency release lever" lol.
-
AND WAS THAT OLIVER FUCKING PLATT DOING A YELTZIN IMPRESSION???
-
Anything's possible!
-
in a few years time, Cusack himself will admit that this movie sucked. He's admitted that he's only been in ten decent movies in the span of his entire career.
-
Why don't they try to combine those photorealistic images with REAL camera angles?!? You instantly get out of the CGI-effect when the camera angles are as shitty as here.
-
yea, no kidding right. I wonder what would even compel Cusack to even sign on for this movie.
-
Yet again, I clicked, was told I couldn't see it, so somewhere deep down I'm pissed off at this film. Mr Emmerich, you should know that MTV is making me ANGRY!
-
Mental masturbation of this low class variety only proves that the actual calendar year of 2012 will probably bare witness to Prime Time TV featuring crotch kicks and handjobs at Starbucks.

Well, I am definitely outside of the US but was able to see it.
by motoko kusanagi
I should add "unfortunately". Unfortunately I was able to see this steaming pile of ape dung.
-
What fun! Cannot be seen outside the US. What is it with these region restricted TRAILERS! Not the movie! A friggin trailer! Well, tomorrow morning I'll have forgotten I was interested in this film, and they'll still be assholes.
-
Anyone else annoyed beyond belief about the fake viral marketing ads they keep airing for this during the "History Channels" bullshit 2012 programming? At this point,I'm pretty sure the Histroy Channel exists for the sole purpose of terrifying the elderly....kinda like the republican party.....
-
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZW2qxFkcLM0
-
And the sad part is--this will probably bring in $30M in the first weekend. Let's not forget that the steaming pile that was 10,000 B.C. brought in $35M. Just sad.
-
Hopefully it won't disappoint like every other movie he's ever made.
-
Ooh! Ooh! I know! Let's see CGI destruction!
-
Look for the disgusting marketing tie-ins in November. Burger King End of The World Disaster Meals, Taco Bell ApocolypseMelts.

by ironhelix
Everyone involved with this film should burn in Hell for all eternity.
-
Mountain Dew commercials! This absolutely has the potential to be one of the most retarded movies OF ALL TIME! How many of you got a STRONG "taxi cab spinning wheels on Godzilla tongue" vibe from that?
-
Ok, so 2012 is full of many cataclysmic events...you can't turn around & then have a Bentley rocket out the back of a cargo-plane. Plausible implausibility is plausible. Implausible implausibility is not :) You need to choose your implausible elements & then build plausible actions around it, which makes an effective movie. This is also a note for the screenwriters. Wait, isn't Emmerich the screenwriter?
-
is to seek out a theatre on the weekend of its release and catch the Fantastic Mr. Fox. That movie could suck, but at least it has a chance of being original and cause a viewer to actually use brain cells.
-
this is too fuckin sick
-
Why is MTV so hung up on this Region crap. What's the big deal about us Canadians watching these videos?
-
Well done. Way to take something laden with possibility and turn it into a steamy pile of shit. I thought about seeing this for the destruction but then realized that is exactly the kind of wrong-headed thinking that puts asses into seats at shit like Transformers so I will get a grip and ignore 2012 the same way I ignored Transformers 2, with extreme disinterest.
-
That's actually what will cause 2012. Too many Canadians will be watching you tube at once (cause what else is a lazy Canuk to do ??? ya??) that the Earth will blow up, causing massive cgi TOTALFUCKINGDESTRUCTION.
So fuck off Canada, why bring our impending doom early?
Wait until 2012. -
Is like a secret order protecting us for Canadian bandwith-horder doomsday cults. Plus Canadian bacon is HAM!
-
for sure.
-
... more bollocks from the man who thinks quantity over quality is how you make a great movie.
I can't see this, but my Bollocks sense is tingling like a post-curry ringpeice. -
Stupid "n" key!
-
*cough* *cricket* Crowd: Fuck You!
-
Wonder how much Bentley paid for that? ...And I didn't realize it's supposed to be a comedy.
-
lively us up. Sometimes lie to us if you have to. I don't know how much more uncool news I can take.
-
Anyone seen the ads about the lottery to get on the ark. I love that they're so straight-faced about THIS movie.
-
...and !motherfucker! I wish I were a producer on it! Cause this movie is gonna go through the fucking roof!
WHAT A GREAT FUCKING SCENE!!
Love it, in the midst of all that chaos, the grizzled, pudgy foreign dude says "shhhh...!" Then, when everyone's quiet, he says, calmly, "Engine, start." And it starts. I don't know about the rest of the movie, but that scene is fucking brilliant.
-
that the Bentley was fine.
-
Hey Germany, thanks for sharing!!
-
I hate it when product placement works its way into fucking dialogue, especially when the rest of the dialogue is most likely shitty to begin with. It just throws me out of the movie completely. fuck this.
-
It's the coming thing, right? Everybody's doing it. And for this is the kind of big, stupid, visually-intensive movie it would make sense to do it in 3-D. Boring characters, no character development of course, no plot to speak of, lame writing, and no point whatever! But like porn, in 3-D it might be kind of cool and fun. There wouldn't be a motionless seat in the house.
-
Try downloading and using HotSpot Shield (for Windows or OSX users... not sure about Ubuntu).
It works about 80% of the time for out of region video streams for me. -
...when 250 million would buy you 10% of Volvo, and Travolta's viscious plan all added up to "helping create the safest automobile in the world".
-
The guy is the Uwe Boll of disaster movies.
-
Do you guys really think this will help the sales of Bentleys for the 1% of the population in this country that can actually afford one? Hahahahaha.....
-
Maybe those pads from the ad prior to the scene could've been placed instead in the scene. I can imagine..."the plane's second engine is leaking" put a always maxi pad on it immediately ! :-)
-
LIsten you two, you have shown you can make fun and entertaining movies with even an enjoyable story when you work together. Much in the same way the Coen Brother's need each other for success, so do you two! Everything done apart has been a waste of VFX and film stock.
-
..who gives a rats ass..its an end of the world movie..enjoy!!
-
I don't know much about wtf ISOBAR is but both Dean and Roland are attached. I hope they can unfuck what they did to go their separate ways. Is it a German and Jew thing? Does Dean hate on queers? FIX YOUR FUCKING SHIT GUYS.
-
cars flip over, a little girl gets stuck in a blazing wooded area, someone loses life-dependent medication, the family dog miraculously survives, the old lady dies, and Cusack saves the day.
-
that's the best clip they could have released? i was looking forward to this, too...
-
I remember seeing previews for this back when I saw Quantum of Solace.
-
in looking at the past collaborations on the work of Devlin and Emmerich reveals some really overrated and awful movies that don't stand the test of time. Godzilla was terrible, the Patriot was mediocre, and if we are honest about things Independance Day loses its appeal as more time passes. (Remember the alien mind control scene and Randy Quaid as a plane flying Cousin Eddie??) Stargate was the exception. One good movie in 15 years doesn't make this team of ass-clowns the Coen brothers.

Why do you give a good fuck if it'll be released?...
by cheyne_stoking_dms
The film could come out in 2013 and I still wouldn't give a shit. It's a movie you can watch with your friend while drinking, laughing at it. Nothing more.
-
thats the guy from pusher !!!
-
"Voice control."
Hahahhaha classic. -
the name was familiar but I couldn't put his name with his films. I looked him up on imdb. He blows. All his movies blew. Just like Bay, big explosions and no heart. For this, I take a double shit on this movie. *Whips out nut sack and shakes it at computer screen*
-
This COULD happen.
LOL. OK....NOT!
A scene like this kinda makes ya wince...even if it's in an over the top end of the world disaster flick.
Still....Roland is infinitely more capable of getting fun performances out of his actors than that idiot Michael Bay....so I'll give him the benefit of the doubt.
I REFUSE to see a Michael Bay directed flick anymore. There is no point. No fun. No direction.
But as stupid as Roland's films are because they are equally over the top subject matter....he does have talent as a director in at least crafting fun scenes.
I actually saw Transformers 2 for FREE....and I wanted to blow my brains out 10 minutes in. I don't care how much money was up on the screen, I've never been so removed from a movie going experience in my life. It was UNBEARABLE.
As much as I think Roland's films aren't great cinema at all....they don't make me want to blow my brains out watching them.
If I happen to find myself in a theatre on a rainy day watching 2012....so be it. I'm not filled with a sense of dread the way I'd be if told I had free tickets to see BAD BOYS 3.
I'm going off on a tangent now. I didn't mean to justify this clip. Like a poster said, the only thing that made me smile during this clip was the fat Russian in the back seat. Little touches like that are what make Roland at least more entertaining than Michael Bay.
At best Roland is our generations version of Irwin Allen. But there is absolutely NO value in the pile of puke put out by Bay. -
You're always behind AICN. This movie looks like it was made for people living in 1995.
-
man that was dumb as shit
-
wow u hate BAY, we got that the first thousand times u said it...maybe if u woulda actually blown ur brains out i wouldnt have to read your overblown paragraph about how much u hate BAY.....saw transformers 2 in IMAX....was well worth the money. sue me...
-
You'll know ahead of time exactly what's gonna happen, who's in it and how it's gonna end--so don't bitch if you see it and don't like it. You know what yer getting into here.
-
than read about someone confessing seeing a bay movie. Where are the rest of the bodies located?
-
Emmerich's imdb page I rank him a tad higher on my film shit list. 'Independence Day' is possibly the stupidest movie of the 1990's, and 'Godzilla' shat allover one of my favorite legacies. Atleast Bay knows his movies suck. He's just a multi-million dollar Hollywood whorebag. And the fact that he looks like Kenny G doesn't help either.
-
After seeing this I know AVATAR will rock theaters in December because this voice control stuff is exactly what is wrong with films today... and James Cameron will NOT show us such stupid things in his movie.
-
It's been awhile since AICN has slammed it.
-
Does AICN get money from that commercial? Do AICN readers support that product?
-
gold. get to the chopper
-
Can you imagine seeing all of those cars rolling towards you right after escaping a crashing plane?! Scary! I don't know how they dream this stuff up, but I can't wait to see it.
-
Sep 07, 2009 4:14:30 PM CDT
COMMERCIAL banners and warnings would be appreciated.
by stereotypical evil archer
AICN usings SPOILER banners and warnings, I'm just asking for the same consideration with commercials. You know, treat your viewers with respect, not products.
-
Whatever keeps your dick up, bro.

If you go to the webpage (instead of the embed)....

After the commerical wasted my time... the clip wasted even more

Horrendous.Cusack...come back from the brink. It's not too late.
-
or, knowing the length or Roland's films, you might want to take shots
so your bladder holds for the duration of this surefire masterpiece! -

The very fact that a few simps on this very forum found the 'voice control' bit genuinely funny fills me with unfathomable loathing.

he looks like The Chatterer Cenobite in the freeze frame.
-
The fucking Enterprise doesn't have VOICE CONTROL!
-
Refresh my memory: Didn't this film feature the President of the United States piloting an F-16 and the alien threat eventually being done in by a crop duster piloted by Cousin Eddie? This movie was horrible.
-
Fuck most likely to happen. Maybe even the Balkanization of the US.
But everybody focuses on Natural disaster and not the Robocop like near future.
Go figure. -

Jeff Goldblum saved Earth with a trojan virus he found in his fly invested Dinosaur nest. "'C', 'c' is the letter that begins Canada, Canada is cold, cold, cold like a..." Fuck You, Goldblum. *Bitch slaps his glasses off*
-
to be more precise
-
Emmerich's movies just keep getting progressively worse. I liked Stargate and Independence Day, but Godzilla and everything onward has just been TOTAL shit.
-
what the subject says...
-
...is a laugh track.
Roland Emmerich is officially, the worst filmmaker in history. -
Any movie that contains more than 5 consecutive seconds of a group of characters screaming has to be aimed at kids. Kids are the only humans on the planet who can stand that much screaming.
-
more of Ninja Assassin.
-
why does Earth have to be in every one of his movies?
-
as Nostradamus. That'll help things out.
Also, a good marketing strategy for the movie would be to create a new trailer showing a tank-driving President of the United States not allowing the Gays or Jews on the new Ark. Sell this ad spot to Fox and Fox news and the Religious Right will show up in droves. -
is brought to you by AICN
-
Go fuck Michael Bay in your region encoded sex dungeon.
-
cg cars and loud noises. I still have a fucking headache from watching GI Joe 3 weeks ago. And Transformers 2. The world needs a few moe Chris Nolans to balance this shit out. I used to have an open mind towards these brainless CG fests, fuck I loved the first Transformers, but I concur with the first post. ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ
-
Anyone that hated on Inglorious Basterds can watch this clip and get a reminder of the shitfest that Hollywood has become. This clip is an embarassment to our movie culture and I hope that people will avoid this pile of garbage to send a message to hollywood. That being said, expect a $65 million dollar opening weekend.
-
uhh...It's actually Fuck you, Michael Bay. Newb.
-
And your half hour of scenes of people talking about useless shit.
-
at least michael bay threw around real cars instead of pixels.
-
Sorry, I've got a thing for disaster porn. It's really my only fetish. That and maybe asian bukkake, but is that even a fetish anymore? Everybody loves that shit... what's next to be deemed a fetish? Breathing?
-
Which is, as we all know, the long-gestating sequel to ZARDOZ. Sean Connery's red diaper outfit on eBay. Bank.

Hopefully this will be sped up with Benny Hill music
by takingscorpioscalls
-
About on a par with this shit.
-
I had no idea Zlatko Buric (the Eastern European guy in the car with Cusack)was in this movie. He's fairly big here in DK mostly known for his portrayal of gangster boss Milo in the 'Pusher' trilogy by Nicolas Winding Refn... The film looks like just another Emmerich movie.
-
'Pusher III: The Angel of Death' (I believe that's the title?) Anyway, wish I seen the rest of it.
-
fest
-
Besides myself, of course:
1) This clip... 2) This movie... 3) A Fucking MTV VISA?... 4) AICN promoting "9" in it's own logo -
'9' in the logo. Could you guy's swallow Burton's animated cock any harder?
-
but not for another couple of years, ba duh dum (rimshot)
-
the logo inbreeding is off-putting and leads to questions of credibility. I expect such stuff from places like BloodyDisgusting. This wouldn't have happened on Moriarty's watch.
-
Yeah... I bet someone showed it to you because of the 'disposal scene'... I'm not that much into the sequels, but i loved Pusher I...
-
it was on The Sundance Channel.
-
See, none of you will ever own a Bentley so right off the bat Emmerich has taken you to the brink. Then he breaks out the voice activating technology that you could never believe would be in a CAR!?!? Now he knows he has you all pissed off cause this cutting edge technology is in a vehicle you'll never even get to see with your pathetic low income eyes, so what does he do? He fulfills your ultimate class war wet dream and flings it out the back of an air plane. Genius! Can't wait for HotTub Time Machine.
-
Ugh.
-
That being said.... you should be watching THIS PRODUCTION WHEN IT'S DONE!!!

You've obviously given up.
-
At least SPECIFY that the clip is from MTV in that damn title!!! That's the new rule! For example 'Here's An MTV Clip From 2012'! That way anyone outside of the US won't fucking bother to click on the topic unless they're really interested in what the talkbacks have to say!

"Car out the back of a cargo carrier plane" bit...
by nasty in the pasty
...stolen from The Living Daylights (only there, it was an ACTUAL CAR).
-
In The Living Daylights. With no CGI. And Russians too.
-
just a bad Director. This guy is Just as bad as Bay.
-
should have just put everyone in the HotTub Time Machine and just gone back to a point where none of this would matter. HOTTUB TIME MACHINE!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
but how do you know that 2012, or another type of mass destruction won't befall the earth and it's inhabitants? Who the fuck are you to say one way or another? Everyone seems to have the answers, when in fact, no one knows FOR CERTAIN what will happen. It's a life of possibilities people. Weigh them all.
-
Actually, funny you mention The Living Day Lights... I remember that "stunt" and after looking up an old Cinefex magazine I have, they clearly show the Aircraft and jeep in the film as highly detailed miniatures. So basically is was a mix of stunt work and practical model effects... The shot where the jeep exits the plane as the parashoot deploys is a miniature shot and not "real."
-
what the fuck was that horeshit?
-
I was impressed by the effects...which is the only real reason I will see this movie. You people who are analyzing every aspect of that clip and why it's "the reason Hollywood is crap" have way too much free time on your hands and need desperately to get laid. Sure the movie is going to have cheesy dialogue and cliches and painfully obvious symbollism and bad acting and impossible situations. Thats the definition of Hollywood! I've accepted the falacies of Hollywood...If you want to watch an art film then check out IFC. If you want to be entertained a little for once in your life, take off your ego-laced critic's sunglasses and just watch the fucking movie and have fun...especially a sci/fi action like this one.
-
But in a bad way. I'll say what I always say about Emerich's movies, though: I really like Independence Day. However, having said that, 10,000 BC is one of the few movies EVER that I've not been able to finish. And I didn't even come close with that one. This trailer does NOT give me hope for 2012.
-
Prophecies of Nostradamus can't be top, Mr Emmerich!
-
...because I expect it to suck.
-
SFX-wise, I've seen cars bouncing around before. They move around to fast to seem to have much weight. Cusak is in Con-Air paycheck mode, I guess to pay the bills to make another dark heavy handed unfunny satire like War Inc.
-
In other words - I've just been Emmerich'ed!! Bring on that damn movie: it'll be just like a nasty one-night-stand.
-
I'm supposed to take seriously the predictions of a civilization with such foresight that its ancestors are now creeping across the border to fulfill their dreams of selling churros in a roadside cart or picking vegetables outside of Barstow? J/k
-
So I can remember the Cusack "good years"
-
Discovery channel. Seriously. This looks like a TV movie
-
That was a miniature? Just goes to show how a miniature effect from 22 years ago looks better and is more convincing than a $200 million CGI-crammed modern blockbuster.
-
My lust is real but she is not.
-
You know I'm right. You wanna see it, too.
-
NOT! Fucking lame.
-
Sep 09, 2009 12:57:47 PM CDT
sorry that incredible visual effects to be in a movie so shitty
