By Edgar 'El Toro' Arce on May 19, 2008

Just saw this piece of news regarding a member of the famous Cusack family….

According to Variety, John Cusack has signed on to topline to star in director Roland Emmerich's (10,000 B.C., The Day After Tomorrow) new disaster movie 2012 for Sony Pictures.

Chiwetel Ejiofor (Redbelt, American Gangsters) also is in talks to join the big-budget epic, which chronicles the end days of human civilization.

The title refers to the year the world is supposed to end after a global cataclysm. Story centers on an academic researcher who opens a portal into a parallel universe and makes contact with his double in order to prevent an apocalypse predicted by the ancient Mayan.  Cusack is set to play Jackson Curtis, a divorced dad who alternates between writing and driving a limo. Emmerich wrote the script with his 10,000 B.C. co-writer Harald Kloser, and the duo will also produce the film.

Its funny how just this past weekend I was talking about how the world is suppose to end according to Aztec calendar, and now this happens!! A definite sign!! It should be interesting but I think I’m kind of worn out from all the end of the world stuff. What about you?

Should another end of the world film be done? Or do we pretty much know how its going to happen just from all the various films from the past?
