Icy, Post Impact Hell!! Check Out This Teaser For 10, 000 DAYS!!

Published at:  Jul 21, 2010 9:35:10 PM CDT


Merrick here...


At Comic-Con, MGM will be unveiling a new "digital series" called 10, 000 DAYS; we have an exclusive preview for AICN readers.

The studio describes the concept thusly...

10,000 days ago Comet 23 struck the Pacific Ocean with the magnitude of all the nuclear weapons in the world. A lucky few survived the heat blast and fire storms. And then the freezing began. The comet knocked Earth away from the sun; encasing the planet in snow and ice. For those who survived, life was violent and dangerous. The daily battle wasn’t just against the punishing climate but against each other for the basic necessities that meant life or death. Still, the weather was growing colder and the ice was expanding. Then they found an object from the past, buried deep in the ice. And with it came a choice. A choice that could either save them or destroy them.



SEE IT HERE!!!



I'm told the 720p version of this YouTube looks really good...I haven't been able to get the 720p to play right just yet. The pic keeps freezing, but I suspect that may be my computer acting up. More details will emerge at Comic-Con in the coming days - we'll let you know more as we know more.

    by arcangel2020

    Sorry but to me? This reminds me a lot of that horrible end of the world flick "The Day After Tomorrow" (Which the F/X Channel seems to take glee in showing repetitively!! Grrrrr!!!)
    Kind of looks like what I would call "The Day After Tomorrow Part II: The Sequel No One Cares To See"

    Any dollar MGM can make is fine, they need to release Red Dawn, the 007 videogame needs to be epic, and we fucking need The Hobbit and 007 while Daniel Craig would still do it, especially with Chris Nolan talking about how much he'd like to direct one.

    The "Lost" finale, Midichlorians, and idiots

    by locke815

    I frequent AICN but never comment. And I know this has nothing to do with "10,000" but the other threads are closed. Nevertheless, gotta get it off my chest.

    Why are so many morons on here saying that wanting the "Lost" finale to have answers is akin to wanting to know that "Midichlorians" were behind The Force? First of all, Star Wars was not a mystery movie, it was an science fiction/action movie. The whole movie did not have characters saying "What is the mystery of the Force? Why can only Jedis use it? Where did it come from?" nor did plot points hinge on inconsistencies with the Force. In other words, no one asked for Midichlorians.

    However, "Lost" DID raise such mysteries. What is the island, what is the smoke monster, what are "the rules," why can't women get pregnant, etc. So it stands to reason that one would expect those questions be answered.

    If you're going to compare the "Lost" finale to Star Wars then the analogy should be that, after Darth Vader tells Luke that he is his father, it is never again mentioned by anyone, and the series concludes with never knowing how or why the father of the story's hero became the story's villain.

    That's all I have to say. Oh wait, one more thing... all you asshole talkbackers bragging about being on unemployment (which, at 30 months, is not unemployment but WELFARE), it's time that you show some goddamned respect to us taxpayers and stop bragging about being on it. Any man who is on unemployment HAS NO PENIS and EVERYONE KNOWS THAT. You're just like the Harley Drivers in that South Park episode where everyone is calling them "fags" but they think they're cool because their motorcycles are loud. You might think you are cool, but every woman in your life knows that you have no dick, and it's just important to me that you know that.

    locke815, to answer your questions

    by jackslater4

    The reason you hear Lost and midichlorians together so much stems from one of the LOST creators likening over explaining some of the shows mysteries to what many view as the over explanation of the force in Episode I. He thinks some things are better left unexplained. People will bitch if the top spins indefinitely, they bitch if the top falls over, they bitch if they don't know what happens to the top, but at least they can make their own satisfactory conclusion.
    My point is, these people create their stories, not mine, not yours, theirs. They share them with us and we repay them by bitching because we thought our fantasy was better and we were so sure of what was gonna happen because we are so smart.
    Here's the deal, Star Wars is a story told in six parts, if you watch it and don't like it, fuck off, don't watch it again. LOST is a story told in six parts, if you don't like the story, fuck off.
    The Dark Tower is not yours.
    The Matrix is not yours.
    If you like it you like it, if you don't you don't.
    Oh yeah, and I worked for a company for 5 1/2 years, until they shut our center down and I collected unemployment for 7 months while looking for a job the whole time. It took that long because I was not willing to make less at my next job than I did at my last. Now I'm back to work and making significantly more than before, so it worked out.
    And the employers pay unemployment insurance, so don't liken it to welfare you ignorant fool.

    The other comments are closed?

    by the bicycle sharer

    Uh, don't wanna call you a liar, dude, but I've posted in shit YEARS old before. The comments in a talkback are never closed as far as I know. You'd tried to commenting in the thread on the Lost extras 'cause I was just there yesterday?Oh, wait! That's me you're talking about! The "asshole talkbackers bragging about being on unemployment!" That's me! Awesome!Well, obviously you've been to that talkback so I'll just start by calling you a lying piece of shit. That talkback is most assuredly NOT closed. So... you're a fucking liar, locke815.Next, as to the "30 months" claim, can I help it if retarded Democrats wanna give me money to stay home, post on AICN, troll CNN and Fox News and MSNBC, and send a monthly check to the DNC? Is that MY fault? Nope. And, as a result, I'm gonna KEEP sitting on my ass until one of two things happens -- 1) unemployment runs out/Dems stop extending it, or 2) Barack Hussein Obama is no longer President, whichever comes first. If you don't like it, vote them Dems out of Congress so they'll stop giving me money to stay home or vote BHO out in two years and three months. Either-or, it's your choice.Respect for the taxpayer? First, on that, what taxpayer you talking about? This government is been spending borrowed money. It ain't yours and it ain't mine. It's China's! And they're not gonna stop spending it until it all come crashing down. And, buddy, as a card-carrying conservative libertarian (figuratively speaking on the card-carrying, of course), I have the ULTIMATE respect for the taxpayer. That's why I'm trying to bring this whole house of cards down - one unemployment check at a time! You ever read Ayn Rand? Well, I'm the "Ragnar Danneskjöld" of the good ol' USA, robbing from the government to take it the hell down in whatever small way I'm able. That way, in the end, they collapse and stop taking from you, the humble taxpayer. Why should I work and contribute taxes to a government that views my work, my effort, and my money as theirs?Any man who is on unemployment HAS NO PENIS and EVERYONE KNOWS THAT? Really? Well, your mom sure screamed different last name when I fucked her up the ass. She likes a big, thick, hard cock shoved balls deep in the pooper and I gave it to her.It's important for you to let me know something? Oh, how sad for you! 'Cause, oddly enough, what you say is about as important to me as...Buh-bye!

    I disagree with JackSlater4

    by hatemphd

    Lost was billed as a sci-fi mystery. Starwars was billed as a space opera. There were expectations that certain parts of the mystery of Lost would be explained. They weren't people were pissed. There were no expectations for Starwars to explain the biological nature of the force (beyond what was told by yoda in empire.) They added sloppy, unnecessary exposition and fans got pissed. "My point is, these people create their stories, not mine, not yours, theirs. They share them with us and we repay them by bitching because we thought our fantasy was better and we were so sure of what was gonna happen because we are so smart." That reads like a very sanctimonious way to say that the "artist is always right." Artists are not immune to criticism. Both Starwars and Lost disappointed a very large and vocal percentage of their fans. "if you watch it and don't like it, fuck off..." Attitudes like that are not conducive to conversations or debates.

    But they are not in the majority, the ratings, and revenue, and box office, merchandising and dvd sales tell a different story.
    If most people hated these stories they would not be the success and phenomenons that they are.

    On the Star Wars front...

    by andosonundslikeamong

    Actually, there are notes going back to the 70s, that Lucas made for people working in the expanded universe, that mention midichlorians. Also, midichlorians are not in any way responsible for the Force itself; they are just the life forms that allow humans to interact with the Force, which is a completely separate "mystical energy field," as it has always been described. The fact that Jedi in the age of Republic understand more of the scientific and biological side of their interaction with the Force make sense - you don't have to like it, but it wasn't just tagged on as an afterthought, either.

    by jackofhearts29

    from such an impact would be dissipated into space, and it wouldn't come anywhere near to disrupting Earth's orbit. The tidal waves would kill millions but billions would still be alive. There could very well be a Nuclear Winter effect but it wouldn't come close to incinerating OR starving everyone. A real-world drama based on this scenario would be actually interesting. Too bad it won't ever happen.

I know you're lying about unemployment because I met a card carrying idiot just like you who said the same thing and was lying. The truth is all that crap you were so mad about isn't the Dems fault, just read a book or do just like one minute of research and the problems you hate were created by Republican policies... Not talking about Bush's btw. Even though he was one of the worst it was as if the middle of the country finished watching Deliverance and said "wouldn't it be cool if a fucking retard ran the country with the Emperor from Star Wars?" So they voted in Bush and Cheney twice and now they're mad at the out come and bitch about Obama. Racist shit head morons babbling from their desk how they hate the government. Just because you have a limp dick doesn't mean you should be bashing Democrats. Oh and like I said before MGM just get on making Bond movies so Nolan can make one.

I used to like Ayn Rand. Then I realized her belief system only works in a perfect world. Well the world ain't perfect, so someones gotta fix it. Every libertarian I met is a full of shit college kid. My buddy who is one: he works for a gov't subcontractor, sits at work and drinks beer, tries to do the minimum, and scams for disabulity.

    by kai_mah'gra

    .....of an impact to knock the Earth off it's orbit (I'm guessing since they were too dumb to know how dumb it is or know any better - to a higher orbit from the Sun), and life actually survives? Nothing larger than a bacteria would survive such an impact. In fact, even the Earth's crust itself wouldn't survive such an impact, and would probably break up while frying half of the atmosphere.
    Stupid Stuupid science fail.
    What do they think, that the Solar system is just one large pool table and and planets can be knocked about like billiard balls to different positions and stuff still survives? What are they watching at MGM, Looney toon cartoons in place of hiring real science consultants?

    Too right. Nothing in this trailer comes close to being interesting enough to compel me to watch the finished product. Just consider the fact that everything is piled deep in ice. What's producing oxygen to keep people alive? Much better if they'd done Leiber's fascinating A PAIL OF AIR where some celestial body doesn't collide with Earth, but comes close enough that its gravity tears us out of orbit, heading into deep space and a tiny fraction of the population survives by literally mining oxygen out of the layers of frozen gases now covering the surface.

    Certainly the Earth's rotation would be altered by an impact that knocked it out of orbit. So are these old, 24-hour days, or days based on the new rotation? At least it makes sense that they're not counting in years anymore, since those would be WAY off with a new orbit.

    I gotta call BS on that. Produce these magical notes for me.
    You ever read the scripts for Star Wars? They are nothing, NOTHING like the finished product. Whenever Lucas talks about the grand plan he had for Star Wars from the start, I cringe. I read was the script was up to a year before he got production money, and it barely resembles what we know. It also has no room for sequels, and certainly doesn't deal with any characters we know in any recognizable form. There was no 'plan' for Star Wars until the BO exploded opening weekend. Suddenly.. "Hmm, what if Luke and Vader were related?"

    where a 'nuclear explosion' sends the moon out of orbit, intact. Oddly, the moon seems to move around a lot in that show too. Wonder if that will happen in this movie: Earth, the last Ark.

    Night of the Day After Tomorrow's Comet

    Not that this is a bad idea mind you. I mean we don't whine when a new zombie movie comes out. It's not like we ever get an original plot. So why worry about this?

    "a lucky few survived"

    by russman

    I think in a disaster like that the old line is in full effect: The living will envy the dead.

    If you're so dismayed at the finale of Lost (months later, mind you) that you feel the need to infect other talkbacks with your inane rants, if you hate the show that much "for what it did to you", then why, praytell, do you still go by Locke? Seems a tad hypocritical, don't you think?

    oh, and as for your unemployment rant

    by aka_gern_blanston

    telling people they have no penis and to eat a dick only makes YOU look like the childish prick, not them, so I propose a solution: A. You stop your whiny bitching and become a productive member of the TB's or B. You go back under that bridge where you came from so the rest of us don't have to constantly be inundated by yet another AICN troll (you'd think Harry could get a spray or something to kill them all off)

    yeah I typed that shitty. I know what happened in Lost, I just thought it was a shitty way to end the show. Probably not as bad as I made it sound though. And they could have ended it a LOT worse...like it was an alien island with a spaceship in the middle.

    FluffyUnbound -- I agree. Basic Science FAIL

    by tritium

    Any asteroid or comet with enough mass, stricking the Earth with enough energy to significantly change it's orbit (beyond infinitesimally), would completely sterilize the upper crust of the planet...and perhaps throw enough material into orbit to create a second moon. Vast areas of Earth'surface would remain molten for hundreds if not thousands of years, and most likely all surface water (including oceans) would have been vaporized. There would be ZERO possibility for any complex organisms surviving such a cataclsym.I am always amazed at the ignorance of Hollywood, and their inability to get the basic science right. I mean, its not that hard. Just hire a fucking geologist and an astrophysicist as consultants. Besides the story would be just as easily served by having a reoccurence of an extinction level event similar to the K-T or Permian/Triassic impacts. That way, you still get your apocolypse and subsequent nuclear winter...without resorting to fantastical (impossible) scenarios.

    Why wouldn't they just say, "27 years"?

    by kevred

    Why would anyone bother counting days as high as 10,000? I guess the film implies that there are no longer any seasons, but does humanity suddenly stop counting in the same units because there are no longer leaves turning brown once a year? Do people living at the equator count all time in days?

    And by 2013, everyone had stopped making printed calendars, so human timekeeping lasted only as long as the last iPhone battery. Which, tragically, was still not user-replaceable.

    You're a fucking idiot. Wanna see a copy of my state of California filing from the website where I file weekly? What kind of fucking idiot would say he's collecting unemployment when he ain't?See, what you don't realize ('cause you're a fucking idiot) is that this unemployment shit jumped over here 'cause it started (innocuously) over on the Lost DVD with the special featurette thread from Coaxial. It was mentioned, I think (if memory serves), merely in passing, that I was unemployed at the moment, thus, the massive amounts of time for reading and posting on AICN. However, my comments (as well as others) on it continued through the thread. The thread played out (kinda) and I hadn't been back there to post.Locke815, retarded butt monkey that he is, didn't feel like his views had gotten the proper viewing in that thread 'cause he posted near the end after the visits and posts there had slowed/stopped. So, he just REPOSTED his post from that one over here (with minor cosmetic changes to the intro and a bullshit LIE - "comments closed in that thread" - when he'd LITERALLY JUST posted his comment that he was copying moments before in THAT thread) in hopes that this, newer thread would give him a bigger audience. (And a response from me? IDK.)All the shit about Dems, etc., is really just a stupid, summarized rehash of what went on over there, in response, again, to Locke815's lying repost to garner more attention. I had no intention of bringing that shit over here and, even over there, it just kinda evolved in the talkback conversation.But, if you're interested, let's talk and I'll find a way to get you a copy of my statement from CA EDD with my dates of filing and weekly amounts.Now, as to "reading a book," I read four to five a week. I also read newspapers, magazines, websites, watch the news, and listen to the radio. CONSTANTLY!!! I HAVE NO FUCKING JOB!!! In point of fact, I didn't "complain" about ANY problem above, moron. I stated that, as long as Dems keep renewing unemployment and giving away free money that I was gonna keep taking it. WHAT FUCKING PROBLEM THAT "REPUBLICANS" CREATED DID I MENTION THERE, YOU GODDAMNED ASS LICKING CRETIN?!?!?! SPENDING BORROWED MONEY FROM CHINA?!?!?! BOTH PARTIES DO THAT AND BOTH PARTIES (ON THIS) SUCK EQUALLY!The only other "problem" I mentioned was the continued extension of unemployment benefits. Now, you tell me, who is it that keeps extending benefits "'cause we have to?" Republicans? Is that your contention? That "the problems [I] hate [continued unemployment benefits - and I clearly stated that I LOVE it and will continue to keep on taking, taking, taking it] were created by Republican policies." Extending unemployment benefits to me, free money for doing nothing but staying home, reading AICN, posting shit online, and "working on my novel" are REPUBLICAN POLICIES?!?!? Wow. Just wow. That's, uh, both amazing and unbelievable. I guess YOU'RE the one who oughta "read a book," huh? Or, shit, listen to MSNBC for five minutes - REPUBLICANS DIDN'T WANNA EXTEND THE BENEFITS (according to MSNBC)!!!"Mad at the outcome and bitch about Obama?" Who's mad at the outcome and bitching about Obama? Me? Certainly not, sir. Well, not here anyway. Let me be perfectly clear: I FUCKING LOVE THAT OBAMA AND THE DEMS EXTENDED UNEMPLOYMENT BENEFITS!!!Racist shit head morons babbling from their desk how they hate the government. Just because you have a limp dick doesn't mean you should be bashing Democrats. Oh and like I said before MGM just get on making Bond movies so Nolan can make one.

    "Racist (Bwahahahahahaha! Me? Racist? Really? You think so? What, do I hate white people or Asians?), shit head morons babbling from their desk how they hate the government?" I never said (above there) that I hated government, did I? Again, just 'cause you seem to be SUPER STUPID (and somehow conflate things I ACTUALLY said with things OTHERS have said in your mind) -- "I FUCKING LOVE THAT OBAMA AND THE DEMS EXTENDED UNEMPLOYMENT BENEFITS!!!" I get to stay home more and read idiots like you. :-) Just "because [I] have a limp dick doesn't mean [I] should be bashing Democrats?" Limp dick, huh? Well, I'm sure that'd be a disappointment for you, but your nasty fucking whore of a mother didn't mind when I rammed it up her ass and came on her face. Oh, and tell that bitch that no matter how much she begs, I ain't gonna give her money for meth. But I digress. Bashing Democrats? I didn't bash Democrats. Once again 'cause the syphilis is effecting your brain, "I FUCKING LOVE THAT OBAMA AND THE DEMS EXTENDED UNEMPLOYMENT BENEFITS!!!" Now, just 'cause you see it as a "bash" that the only way I'm gonna stop taking these benes is if the Dems lose ('cause Repubs won't renew) or Obama loses ('cause Repubs won't renew) or the benes run out, doesn't mean that it IS a bash.See, if I'd said something like "Dems are cock-loving, man-whores who'd sell their mothers for a quarter and their country for a dime in order to buy a little more meth so they can suck a little more dick," THAT would be a bash. Everything else I said (borrowing money, won't stop taking benes until no longer Dems to give 'em away) is just a fucking FACT, dumbass.However, I do agree with the MGM, Nolan, Bond-movie thing. So, we got that going for us.And you're mother's a whore.

    Oh and like I said before MGM just get on making Bond movies so Nolan can make one.
