Roland Emmerich to blow up Asimov's Foundation trilogy in 3D
This could be too nerdy - even for you guys - but Roland Emmerich is confirmed to direct sci-fi supremo Isaac Asimov's epic Foundation trilogy, and in 3D to boot. In space, no one can hear you EXTREEEEEEME!

Roland Emmerich officially runs out of ideas
After making the disaster-movie-to-end-all-disaster-movies with 2012, you'd think Roland Emmerich would lay the genre to rest and challenge himself with a rom-com, or even just a music video. But no. Apparently he now wants to make two back-to-back sequels to Independence Day.

2012
Take a look at this week's release schedule: the distinctions between the choices couldn't be more clear. If I want to go and see a film, I'll go and see Michael Haneke's The White Ribbon. If I want to go and see a movie, I'll go and see Roland Emmerich's 2012.

Five minutes of 2012, you say? Right this way for front row seats to the end of the world. Warning: highly ludicrous.

10,000 B.C.
Roland Emmerich is not a man best known for subtlety. He is, to put it crudely, best known for fucking shit up. The so-called master of disaster, Emmerich’s movies are so big, dumb and stupid, no one else can touch him – his name on a movie’s poster still holds weight due to his stellar work on Independence Day, although his God...

THE DAY AFTER TOMORROW
Whether he wants to admit it or not, Roland Emmerich is fast becoming known as the ‘Master of Disaster’. With titles like Independence Day and Godzilla under his belt, Emmerich is showing no signs of satisfaction and craves yet more destruction of major cities around the world (showing a particular dislike for New York).
