2012 Trailer is Great!
The trailer for Roland Emmerich‘s “2012” the apocalyptic end-of-the-world movie has hit the web.
Never before has a date in history been so significant to so many cultures, so many religions, scientists, and governments. In “2012,” a large group of people must deal with natural disasters such as volcanic eruptions, typhoons and glaciers. The idea stems from the fact that the Mayan calendar ends in 2012, which could mean the end of the world.

Singaporean actor Chin Han has joined the cast of Roland Emmerich‘s new epic, “2012,” according to Variety.
Han, who can be seen in “The Dark Knight” as Lau next weekend, is joining an ensemble cast that includes John Cusack, Amanda Peet, Chiwetel Ejiofor and Danny Glover.
“I have always enjoyed Roland Emmerich’s epic take on sci-fi and disaster movies and really look forward to being a part of this film,” Chin Han said.
