Right before “2012” opened in theaters, we brought you news that director Roland Emmerich was developing a tv series that would take place after the movie ended.
The show would chronicle the events that happened after the destruction of civilization as we know it.
Now it looks like the project has been put on hold and will, most likely, never see the light of day. The reason: budget considerations.
“The TV people soon realized what we really wanted to do with the concept. They said, ‘You cannot do this on television,’” Emmerich said.
He added: “So I said, ‘Let’s not do it.’ It was just too big for TV. What we wanted to do.”
“I don’t think it will happen,” Emmerich continued.
“I had a certain vision. We realized what kind of compromises we were going to have to make. Because of that, I said, ‘No thank you’.”
But it couldn’t be that because barely anyone went and saw the movie they probably wouldn’t watch the TV show either … nawwwwwww!
