The following announcement was of interest:<\/p>\n

LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) – Sony Pictures has picked up disaster-movie king Roland Emmerich’s apocalyptic script “2012<\/strong>,” one of the first big projects to hit the market since the three-month writers strike ended on February 12.<\/font><\/p>\n

<\/span>While a deal almost was assured, many studios quickly dropped out of the hunt. Some didn’t like the story, describing it as a “Roland Emmerich greatest-hits package.” Others balked at the price tag. The project comes with a $200 million budget<\/strong>.<\/font><\/p>\n

<\/span>The script blends the idea of the Mayan calendar, which predicts the world ending in 2012, with natural disasters such as volcanic eruptions, typhoons<\/strong> and glaciers plaguing the planet and a large cast of characters dealing with the mayhem.<\/font><\/p>\n

<\/span>Emmerich, known for such films as “Independence Day” and “Godzilla,” will direct the project from a script he co-wrote with Harald Kloser.\u00a0 Sony is planning a July 10, 2009, release. <\/strong>http:\/\/www.reuters.com\/article\/industryNews\/idUSN2252926420080222<\/font><\/a><\/font><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

December 21, 2012 is when the Maya\u2019s \u201cLong Count\u201d calendar marks the end of a 5,126-year era.\u00a0<\/p>\n

While\u00a0some astronomical occurrences will happen then, some people\u00a0suspect that the Mayan date may mark the end of\u00a0civilization or perhaps the\u00a0beginning of a time of great tribulation or the emergence of a new and better age.\u00a0<\/p>\n

A few others seem to believe that December 22, 2012 may mark the beginning of a new and better era for humanity.<\/p>\n

Personally, I suspect<\/strong><\/em> that the European King of the North <\/font><\/a>may become more obvious around that time (and may be a leader, but not yet King at that time) and in retrospect may even claim that he is bringing in the positive era that some suggest the Mayan calendar may indicate\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

As I have written before, while I do not believe that the Great Tribulation will start in 2012, 2012 is probably the earliest year that it can begin.<\/p>\n

However, because of all the hype that will be associated with 2012, I suspect that it is more likely that the great tribulation will begin in 2013 or a couple of years from that.<\/p>\n
