MGM is in negotiations to acquire the 'Airplane!-esque' $25 million disaster film spoof "2012-ish: The Day the Earth Bent Over" reports Screen Daily.

The story follows a young scientist who fights to save the planet from a number of catastrophes that threaten mankind not to mention a bumbling president and a manic depressive NASA commander.

Robert Moniot directs the feature he co-wrote with Travis Oates. Shooting gets underway in Louisiana in March.

Enough with the spoofs!


Good or bad I just don't wanna see it!

Fixed.

Fixed.

That too.

But are 2 of the 6 writers of Scary Movie involved? That's what I'd like to know.

 

[Symbiote666]

They're not writers.

They just go down to their local rental store covered in double sided sticky tape, roll around in the dvds then take the p*** out of whatever is stuck to them.

MGM sucks now

They're doing this, AND remaking Red Dawn and Robocop. What's the matter with them?

The better question is, why does a spoof movie need 25 million dollars?
