Roland Emmerich's 2012 Teaser Released!

Moviefone has released a teaser for the upcoming end-of-the-world epic 2012 from Roland Emmerich. The film follows the struggles of a small group of people to survive amidst global disaster, widespread upheavel, and general unpleasantness.

Despite what you may have felt about 10,000 B.C., the man still can attract a cast though; John Cusack, Woody Harrelson, Amanda Peet, Thandie Newton, Danny Glover, Chiwetel Ejiofor, and Oliver Platt are all onboard. Even award-winning writer/director Thomas McCarthy (The Station Agent, The Visitor) has found his way into this movie, playing the boyfriend of Amanda Peet's character.

The idea comes from the fact that the Mayan calendar ends in 2012, which some have taken as a sign that the end is nigh.
