We might have to wait until 2012 to see the movie of that same name, but maybe it will be sooner. Strieber has speculated recently about Michael Bay’s intentions for the 2012: The War for the Souls movie since he bought the rights to it.
“I don’t know if he will direct it for sure, but I know he is interested in directing it,” Strieber said. “Michael Bay’s company did buy the rights to 2012, though, and he will at least produce it.”
Bay, who has also directed Armageddon and The Island, and his Transformers writers Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci bought the rights to produce Strieber’s apocalyptic story, about the date Dec. 21, 2012, which is prophesized by Nostradamus and the Mayan calendar as being the beginning of the End of Days
I know all the Bay “fans” are just itching at that Comment button to reject the idea that Bay would direct this.
I personally have no problem with Bay getting in the comfy chair on this one. Its the kind of thing that is right up his alley. A good sci-fi film that promises a lot of adventure.
I might have to run out and get the book to this one. Sounds like a great story.
