According to the trades, Danny Glover, Thandie Newton and Oliver Platt may be making a date with "2012."
The actors are in discussions to join Columbia's epic disaster project, which Roland Emmerich is directing.
"2012" 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.
John Cusack and Chiwetel Ejiofor already are on board.
Emmerich is directing a script he penned with his "10,000 BC" co-writer Harald Kloser. He is serving as an exec producer with Michael Wimmer and Ute Emmerich.
"2012" was shopped around with a $200 million budget, but Columbia said it will be made for less than that.
The studio is planning a July 10, 2009, release, with filming set to begin in July -- unless there is an actors strike.
Which is worse - Danny Glover President or the end of the world?
well, they did say epic disaster.
Will it be as good as “The Day After Tomorrow”?
Is there a futures markets for movies where I can “go short” on this one?
Obama's 2nd term?
For once, this would be a good movie for everyone to die.
I think he”ll face stiff competition from George Noory?
This is strange I would like to ask you all if you believe this tape?

Even more of a reason to hope that the Mayan prophecy comes true.
Nah, he's "gettin' too old for this sh*t".
Whuh-oh. Better stock up on Red Bull if you wanna make it through this one.
Coincidence?
Emmerich’s movies have stunk since Independence Day.
All they had to say to get me excited was “John Cusack and Chiwetel Ejiofor already are on board.”
Does it get any better than a guy who made his last decent movie in the late 80’s and someone nobody has ever heard of!
