Unless you have been hiding in a cave, you cannot have failed to notice that mega disaster movie 2012 is all the rage. The movie explores the theory that the end of the earth will occur in the year 2012, as foretold by ancient civilisations and religions.
So far the movie has raked in a tidy $225 million from worldwide box office tickets. So much in fact that director of 2012 Roland Emmerich is planning a follow on TV series. If you havent already seen the movie then read on at your peril because it contains spoilers.


At the end of the movie, civilisation is wiped out, apart from a select few who are living on some high-tech floating arks whilst the earth is getting erased by a series of earthquakes and tsunamis. As the extreme conditions subside the arks set sail for the only remaining land mass still in existence, the Cape of Good Hope in Africa. The TV show is planning to look at what happens next.
Roland Emmerich is planning to answer these questions in the 2012 TV spin-off that takes place logically in 2013, after the last few survivors have landed.

"It's a little bit like ‘Lost,' " he explained in a recent interview with MTV News. "I kind of said, ‘This would make an interesting TV show.' At the end of the movie — I don't want to give it away — but they find one continent that's left and they go there. I'm so interested in what will happen, because naturally on this continent there are survivors. What will they say when these arks show up?"
The original stars of the movie - Cusack, Amanda Peet, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Thandie Newton etc. will not be starring in the tv show. Stars of the small screen 2012, Emmerich said, will be a "whole new set of people," some plucked from the arks and those who survived in Africa (who never appeared in the movie). Entertainment Weekly recently reported that the show is being shopped to "Lost" home ABC, they however have made no comment on the possibility.
In hit show Lost, the survivors and the original inhabitants dont exactly get on. As Emmerich put it, "It's this concept of, everybody thinks the future will be all pride- and conflict-free, and it isn't."

Lets just hope they get the show made before the real 2012, or there may be nobody around to watch it.

UK cable network Virgin Media are letting its catch up tv customers watch some eye popping 3D TV from Channel 4 television.
Virgin who are the UK's biggest cable TV operator, has a wide range of 3D content available for subscribers to its watch on demand catch up TV services. You can start watching in 3D from today, you will need to supply your own 3d glasses though which can be picked up free from local stores.


Virgin Media spokesperson commented:- "We will be making the 3D episode of Chuck - aired on Virgin1 in August - available in TV Choice. We are also working on getting some additional content."
The "3D Festival" from Virgin Media will give customers access to Channel 4's The Queen in 3D and Derren Brown's 3D Magic Spectacular. Both the shows can be viewed using Catch up TV and TV Choice.
The 3D on-demand content on Virgin Media will be available from today until to mid-December.
Virgin join a long list of suppliers and operators jumping on (out of) the 3D bandwagon. TV rival and satellite digital TV provider Sky has already announced plans to launch a 3D TV channel in 2010. Hollywood has been releasing a raft of 3D movies including the new Jum Carey ‘A Christmas Carol'
