This show may as well be called Epic Fail unless Roland makes one
phone call: To Manny Coto.

Roland Emmerich's already controversial world-destroying movie 2012
isn't even in theaters yet, but there are reports he's mulling a
follow-up TV show called 2013.
How can there be a follow-up show to a movie about the end of the
world, you ask? (Spoilers ahead!)
Well, according to CinemaBlend, there are some survivors, and the
show would pick up their story:
As speculated, the new series will be called 2013 and will focus on
the aftermath of the cataclysmic events of the film. With the world
in disarray, it's time to rebuild. Emmerich says it's "not the
bright happy future everyone was imagining" when the film ends.
Instead, things look bleak. But this is humanity, so of course we
can rise up from this.
Emmerich will reportedly model the proposed show on Lost and the
sci-fi action movie District 9: big casts, complex storytelling and
a gritty, realistic style.
Keep in mind this is all pie in the sky, since the movie's not out
yet and could tank. Also, name a TV show based on a sci-fi movie
that managed to be a big hit, besides the Stargates. Anyone?
2012 opens Nov. 13.
