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, which Roland Emmerich is directing. The trio will be joining already cast John Cusack and Chiwetel Ejiofor. Unlike 10,000 B.C, the studio is planning this as a major summer tent pole with July 10, 2009 as the release date for Emmerich, where his movies usually tend to do better. Barring a SAG strike, production will begin in July.
Plot Concept: The film centers on a global cataclysm and tells the heroic struggle of the survivors. Glover is in talks to play the president, with Newton in discussions to play his daughter. Platt is in negotiations to play the president's chief of staff.
