''[[2012]]'' is a movie based on the prediction that the [[The End of the World as We Know It|world willwould end]] on December 21st, 2012. This prediction iswas itself based on the factobservation that the Mesoamerican Long Count calendar rolls over somewhere in the vicinity of 2012-12-21, in much the same way that [[Millennium Bug|the Gregorian calendar rolled over on 2000-01-01]].
 
The first trailer for the movie showcased a Tibetan monk bashing a giant bell with a log on top of a mountain in the Himalayas (this is the same mountain range as Everest, keep in mind) while various shots of water rushing and rumbling can be heard. Then, all of a sudden, ''boom'', a massive torrent of water goes '''over the mountains''' and engulfs everything.

[[Word of God]] states that this is Emmerich's final disaster flick, so he tried as best as he could to pack enough [[Stuff Blowing Up]] and [[Monumental Damage]] into it to last a lifetime.
 
A [[Spin-Off]] TV series, tentatively called ''2013'' and focusing on a group of survivors, was planned. However, [[American Broadcasting Company|ABC]] decided to not finance it and it never saw the light of day.
 
Not to be confused with ''[[Twenty Twelve]]'', a [[Britcom|BBC sitcom]] about the committee preparing for the 2012 Olympic Games, or [[Rush]]'s album ''2112''.
