Independence Day helmer Roland Emmerich's latest multi-million dollar mega-project 2012 is now gearing up for production, with three more actors joining the cast.
We already knew that John Cusack and Chiwetel Ejiofor were on board, and now The Hollywood Reporter informs us that the like of Danny Glover (Lethal Weapon), Thandie Newton (Run Fatboy, Run) and Oliver Platt have also signed up for this apocalyptic drama.
Glover is in talks to play the President, Newton his daughter and Platt the White House Chief of Staff.
2012 revolves around Mayan prophecies that foretell the end of the world in the year 2012 – with doppelgangers and familiar sounding Crystal Skulls all involved.
Assuming the mooted actors strike doesn't go ahead, filming will begin this summer - in line for a June 10, 2009 worldwide release.
