Danny Glover, Thandie Newton and Oliver Platt to Join “2012″

Three more actors are coming aboard Roland Emmerich‘s next apocalypse project. Danny Glover, Thandie Newton and Oliver Platt are in discussions to join Columbia Pictures‘ epic disaster project, 2012.

The film centers on a global cataclysm and tells the heroic struggle of the survivors.

Glover will play the president, with Newton as his daughter. Oliver Platt will star as the president’s chief of staff. John Cusack and Chiwetel Ejiofor already are on board.

Emmerich is directing a script he penned with his 10,000 B.C. co-writer Harald Kloser.

The studio is planning a July 10, 2009, release, with filming set to begin in July.
