The Hollywood Reporter ran a story today announcing the new Michael Bay film we told you about last week titled 2012: The War for Souls. HR had a bit of new information to report, including an updated plot synopsis.

The film will reportedly center on an academic researcher who discovers that multiple versions of Earth co-exist in different dimensions, but all are threatened by an apocalypse to occur in 2012 prophesied by the ancient Mayans. By opening a portal into a parallel universe, he makes contact with his double to stop the prophecy from being fulfilled.

"The idea of a man teaming up with himself to solve a cosmic mystery was way too good for us to pass up," producer Alex Kurtzman said.

The film is currently looking for a screenwriter.

KJ's Take: Sounds similar to Stargate in premise, but not story. One thing's for sure, with Bay directing things are gonna get blown up.
