The set of Roland Emmerich’s 2012 just got a little hemp-ier. Woody Harrelson has just joined the cast, portraying a crackpot who might be on to the end of the world as we know it. The disaster film, due out next summer, has been racking up a pretty decent roster of actors, with John Cusack, Danny Glover, Amanda Peet, Thandie Newton and Chiwetel Ejiofor already on board.
“I play a guy who’s been talking for a long time, the whole world thinks he’s crazy,” Harrelson said of his character. “But he’s been talking that there’s gonna be hell to pay for what’s been going on ecologically and everything.”
Based on what I’ve read about the flick, it just sounds like an alternate version of Emmerich’s THE DAY AFTER TOMORROW. Which means some fantastic set-pieces separated by cardboard characters and ridiculous melodrama. Eh, I’ll see it…
Thandie is dandy!
