Watch 5 Minutes of Roland Emmerich’s 2012

Published by Jeff Leins on: October 2nd, 2009

Last night Sony premiered two minutes of footage from Roland Emmerich’s latest disaster movie, 2012.  The commercial played on 450 TV outlets in the top 70 North American markets to approximately 110 million people.  Reports are saying its the largest “roadblock” in U.S. television history.

Now you can see an extended version of the clip, which also happens to be the same footage shown at the San Diego Comic-Con a few months ago.  Some consider Emmerich to be the “Master of Disaster,” while others don’t really get the mass destruction movies. If you like his work or the over-the-top action of Michael Bay films, you’ll probably like this clip and subsequently the movie in November.

This 5-minute preview stars John Cusack, Amanda Peet, and Thomas McCarthy riding in a limo and a small plane as Los Angeles crumbles around them.  Watch the clip below and pay extra attention to Cusack’s flailing driving skills:

2012 is out November 13, 2009.
