Jan 21 2009End of the World Delayed a Few Months
Oh man. I hope you haven't made your post-watching-2012 Olive Garden reservations yet, because we're going to have to wait until November to see Roland Emmerich's the-world-is-ending-in-three-years! movie. From Variety:
Sony is pushing back the release of Roland Emmerich's actioner "2012" from July 10 to Nov. 13, the same date the studio used to launch the previous two James Bond pics.Sony prexy of worldwide distribution Rory Bruer said the studio has a very strong summer slate -- including tentpole "Angels and Demons" (May 15) and Denzel Washington-John Travolta actioner "The Taking of Pelham One Two Three" (June 12) -- and it made sense to move "2012" to November.
Also, Sony has international distribution rights to McG's "Terminator: Salvation," which opens day-and-date on May 22. Warners is releasing domestically.
I guess my concerns about the impending apocalypse will have to remain vague and visually unrealized for an extra four months. I've been assuming locusts would be involved. There will probably be locusts, right?

Just push it back until December of 2012. We might stil be around to shell out the $9 to see the world end before Christmas. If not, who cares? Why waste 2 hours of your remaining life watching a movie about your own demise?

@1 agreed. push it back to December 21 that way it will be exactly 3 years till Jesus and Cthulhu come back and kick all our asses. plus it would give me something to do on my birthday instead of sulking in a bar alone. Fortunately in 3 years my birthday present will be everyone i hate dying.

They're doing a remake of The Taking of Pelham 123?
Jesus fucking Christ on a pogo stick, I hate Hollywood.

Heard they had to push this one back cause Jeremy Piven ate some more sushi.

Why in hell are they remaking Take of Pelham? And furthermore, why John Travolta? The world is a terrible, frightening place...

I was literaly just thinking the other day about how god awful a remake of The Taking of Pelham 123 would be. Damn I hate hollywood, did any of you see that remake of Assault on Precinct 13, this will be even worse as its got bloody Travolta in it.
On the other hand a remake of Warriors, but French language, set in Paris with the Parisian gangs and a soundtrack by Justice.... now thats a film I would pay to see. See, remakes could be good if Hollywood wasn't in the habit of crapping all over the originals, without injecting any originality.
