Or the day before the day after the day after tomorrow. Don't be stupid. This is the ominous title for German director Roland
Emmerich's latest big-screen disaster, after having aliens destroy every
major city in Independence Day and trashing New York with a giant lizard in
Godzilla.
Ah, where's Herr Emmerich been recently? Well, despite filming Mel Gibson's The Patriot, he's probably been licking
his wounds from 1997's critical onslaught of Godzilla.
So he's decided to return to his roots and effectively plumb the same waters
yet again, with yet another big-scale disaster CGI-fest. Yes. But with one important difference.
Oh - what? The absence of long-time collaborator Dean Devlin, who helped craft every
Emmerich movie since 1994's StarGate.
I see. So what does this mean? Well, Devlin isn't writing the movie. ID4 was written in four-days, while
Godzilla was a mix of ideas stolen from Jurassic Park and King Kong. The Day
After Tomorrow aims to be a bit more cerebral.
So did Deep Impact. Well, yes. Anyway, the trailer shows promise. At its core, TDAT is about the
global warming and climate change, which obviously culminates in the
"weather going crazy" and destroying familiar US landmarks.
New York again. Indeed.
Just what does Emmerich have against NYC? Your guess is as good as mine! Anyway, the film has some acting muscle - old
hand Ian Holm, the dependable Dennis Quaid, and rising star Jake Gyllenhaal
(Donnie Darko) in his first mainstream role.
Sounds good, but what about the visuals. Mass bird migrations, a tidal wave hitting the Statue Of Liberty, crazed
dogs, a shattering glacier, multiple tornados ripping skyscrapers apart -
the usual thing.
Excellent... TDAT is released this summer. "Where will you be?" indeed...
