Indeed. This is only the tip of the iceberg of 2012mania that we will have
to endure. Roland Emmerich, expert consultation. Surely you jest.

Given this weekend's "2012 Conference" in Hollywood, listeros will be
interested to know that there are apparently two major motion pictures
about 2012 in the works.

"2012: The War for Souls," based on the eponymous novel by alien
abductee Whitley Strieber, will reportedly be directed by Michael Bay
with a screenplay by Roberto Orci and Alex Kurtzman.  This team created
last year's summer blockbuster "Transformers".

A second film title simply "2012" will reportedly be directed by Roland
Emmerich, who also directed "Independence Day", "The Day After
Tomorrow", and the soon-to-be released "10,000 B.C."

It is not clear whether either of these films will feature scenes of the
ancient Maya or benefit from expert consultation on Mesoamerican
archaeology in a fashion similar to Mel Gibson's "Apocalypto".  ;-)
