Now this is some cool news. The director/producer of 2012, Roland Emmerich, is working on a sequel - a TV series titled 2013, and ABC might be the network to pick it up.

“The plan is that it is 2013 and it’s about what happens after the disaster,” Emmerich told EW.

“It is about the resettling of Earth. That is very, very fascinating. [2012 writer/producer] Harold Kloser and I came up with the idea and we have the luxury of having a producer on the film who is a big TV producer, Mark Gordon. We said to Mark, ‘Why don’t you do a TV show that picks up where the movie leaves off and call it 2013?’ I think it will focus on a group of people who survived but not on the boats … maybe they were on a piece of land that was spared or one that became an island in the process of the crust moving. There are so many possibilities of what they could do and I’d be excited to watch it.”

Gordon adds: “There’s hope for the world despite the magnitude of the 2012 disaster as seen in the film. After the movie, there are some people who survive and the question is how will these survivors build a new world and what will it look like. That might make an interesting TV series.”

Damn straight!
