Think “2012″ is just another disaster movie? Think again. Here’s what MTV.com has to say about the new flick, opening Friday:
Director Roland Emmerich has made disaster movies aplenty (“Independence Day,” “The Day After Tomorrow”) but Cusack argued in a recent MTV News interview that “2012″ is no disastrous flick.
“This is more of an apocalypse movie!” he declared.
Cusack plays Jackson Curtis, a struggling fiction writer who catches wind of the impending end-of-times just before the destruction kicks into Oh-my-God-everyone’s-gonna-die mode. He grabs his kids, his ex-wife (Amanda Peet) and her rich dude lover, and they all embark on the world’s most treacherous road trip, running, flying and driving across the road in the hope of making it to safe territory. But there’s just not a lot of that left.
Read the full story, and get your apocalypse fix Friday in theaters.
