Roland Emmerich Talks More About The 2012 Sequel TV Series!!
Merrick here...
MTV has a few more details about the 2012 follow up show we heard about last week (details HERE). I.e. this is what Roland wants it to be about - God knows what'll actually happen.
Me? I'm all for some wild and woolly jamboree of post-apocalyptic "civilization rising from the ashes" conceits a la Gene Roddenberry's abortive GENESIS II and PLANET EARTH pilots, but that's probably hoping for too much.
Here's Emmerich on MTV, via an embed which contains a not-entirely-surprising SPOILER for those who haven't seen the 2012 yet.

wow.

Who cares?

I do think 2012 is one of the worst fucking movies of the year with a gawdawful script... but you take survivors on the run in a ship that can't really be repaired (and sabotaged by a single drill stuck in the gears) keep Emmerich far away and maybe get a competent show runner to pull the strings (Manny Cotto after 24 wraps up what'll probably-maybe-possibly be it's final season) and put in some interesting characters... it could actually work. And make up for the movie. Which was terrible.
-
...and about 88 minutes would actually be really cool, with the rest being painfully pointless and stupid?
-
And I hated Van Helsing.

I actually like the idea. Could be could with the proper writing

I actually like the idea. Could be could with the proper writing team, not the ones from the movie.

Stargate was good popcorn fun... and I have heard that 2012 is good summer popcorn fun...
So, they made Stargate the TV series pretty good and last years and years... why can't 2012 be the same? Good characters and good writing... you never know... -
...without the island?

I think 2012 would have been a better Tv Show, rather than the same family from disaster to disaster of the movie.
Imagine 2012 Season 1 (13 episodes)
Like LOST, each episode focuses on one character's past, actually showing him/her around one of the great disasters of the movie, and then their way finding the ark and getting into.
Season 2 could be the exploring of the new continent.
Season 3 about rebuilding the civilization.
And Season 4 could be some futuristic craziness.
I'd love to see that one :P -
"The CW's "Smallville" (2.7 million, 1.2) was steady in the demo and hit a season high among total viewers." Why no news on Friday?
-
...the survivors live on a gigantic, upended chunk of Van Nuys jutting up from the surface of a vast ocean filled with mutant tiger sharks that can leap out of the water and glide and have razor blade fins! I'd pay to see that one.

I dream of getting stuck in an elevator with that guy

So I can destroy him and avenge my lord, GODZILLA. We will never forget what you did you piece of fucking euro trash.
-
minus the CGI? Um, . . . what does that leave us with, exactly? Genius ideas like a cold-icane (hurricold?) storm freezing New York while escaped wolves are the antagonists?
-
... Wooly mammoths used to construct the pyramids like dinosaurs on Fred Flintstone's rock quarry and the ever popular "running from cold".
-
Will this be on SyFy or something?
-
So why is it called 2013?
-
Also I hate..HATE that I am getting second hand news from MTV. Do me a favor..if you are gonna get news from MTV, don't tell me where you pulled it from. For fucksake is there no pride on here. You got scooped by the guy who just interviewed Chingy. FFFFUUUCCCCKKKK!
-
I would watch that.
-
just to avoid any more of this emmerich shit.

Dislodge the Cable: The epic miniseries, coming this spring
by anything but tangerines
Will they dislodge the cable in time? Will you give one percent of a rat's fucking ass about that after the apocalyptic mega-inferno you just saw? Coming this spring to Bravo, CABLES... WILL... DISLODGE!
-
Then it's just a pile of shit.
-
god-awful disaster porn, I don't expect the TV show to be much better. Yep, the Tibetan family arguing with some Africans over a plot of plan to keep their chickens. This'll be REAL fascinating...BTW, anyone find it a bit odd Emmerich poked fun at Arnie in 2012, when apparently, he sounds just like him? It's quite eerie.
-
LOL It still stings after all this time huh?
