With mere weeks before impact, and against all odds, a ragtag team launches an impossible last-ditch mission into space, risking everything to land on the lunar surface and save our planet from annihilation. Patrick Wilson will play a disgraced former NASA astronaut whose previous space mission holds a clue about an impending catastrophe. Halle Berry plays an astronaut turned NASA administrator, while Josh Gad plays a high intelligence science geek. Directed by Roland Emmerich, “Moonfall” begins production this fall in Montreal in Canada with a script written by Roland Emmerich, Harald Kloser (co-writer of 2012 and The Day After Tomorrow), and Spenser Cohen. Roland Emmerich is producing the independent feature film under his Centropolis Entertainment banner with Harald Kloser producing through his company, Street Entertainment.

Merrifield ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ● The film was produced by Columbia Pictures, Sony Pictures QUICK THOUGHTS ● Phil Svitek ● Marisa Serafini ● Demetri Panos ● Sara Stretton DEVELOPMENT ● The possibility of a sequel to Independence Day had long been discussed, and the film's ​ ​ producer and writer, Dean Devlin, once stated that the world's reaction to the September ​ ​ ​ 11 attacks influenced him to strongly consider making a sequel to the film ​ ● Soon after the success of the first film, 20th Century Fox paid Dean Devlin a large sum ​ ​ of money to write a script for a sequel. However, after completing the script, Devlin didn't turn in the script and instead gave the money back to the studio, as he felt the story didn't live up to the first film. It was only approximately 15 years later, that Devlin met up with Roland Emmerich to try again, having felt that they had "cracked" a story for a ​ ​ sequel ● Devlin began writing an outline for a script with Emmerich, but in May 2004, Emmerich said he and Devlin had attempted to "figure out a way how to continue the story", but that this ultimately did not work, and the pair abandoned the idea ● In October 2009, Emmerich said he once again had plans for a sequel, and had since considered the idea of making two sequels to form a trilogy ● On June 24, 2011, Devlin confirmed that he and Emmerich had found an idea for the sequels and had written a treatment for it ● In October 2011, however, discussions for Will Smith returning were halted, due to Fox's ​ ​ refusal to provide the $50 million salary demanded by Smith for the two sequels ● Emmerich, however, made assurances that the films would be shot back­to­back, ​ ​ regardless of Smith's involvement ○ Resurgence filmmakers were reported to be preparing versions of the film both ​ with and without Will Smith.

  • The Day After Tomorrow: Public Opinion on Climate Change
    The Day After Tomorrow: Public Opinion on Climate Change by Andrew Norton and John Leaman May 2004 MORI Social Research Institute The Day After Tomorrow. Public Opinion on Climate Change Introduction This report presents the findings of recent research conducted by MORI Social Research Institute assessing public opinion on, and attitudes towards, climate change and global warming. In recent months, there has been an upsurge of interest in global warming, as highlighted by the publication of satellite evidence confirming stratospheric warming,! debate about the impact of global warming on wildlife," and dire predictions of the impacts of sea level rise#$%%% The film The Day After Tomorrow – released on 28 May – will only serve to increase media interest in this issue. This end-of-the-world disaster film provides an ecological horror story about climate change, where Los Angeles is destroyed by tornados, New York is drowned by a tidal wave and Europe freezes with the onset of a new ice age. The film will have a potential audience of 500 million people, and is set to put climate change on the “mainstream” agenda. Environmentalists hope that the Hollywood blockbuster will change people’s perceptions about climate change, while others have warned that the film is a manipulation of science to serve a political agenda. In line with international efforts to gain agreement on curbing carbon emissions – the gases that contribute towards the global warming – the Government has long been committed to moving the UK to a ‘low carbon economy’. This commitment can be traced to the climate change convention that was agreed at the Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro in 1992.& The ratification of the Kyoto Agreement in 2002 committed the UK to reducing carbon emissions by 12.5% below 1990 levels by 2008-2012.

  • A Film That Could Warm up the Debate on Global Warming
    The New York Times > Opinion > Editorial Observer: A Film That Could Warm Up the Debate on G... May 27, 2004 EDITORIAL OBSERVER A Film That Could Warm Up the Debate on Global Warming By ROBERT B. SEMPLE. Jr. ven as a summer disaster film, "The Day After Tomorrow" does not rank with the greats of yesteryear. Its dialogue is overwrought, its symbolism sophomoric, its subplots annoyingly irrelevant and its relationship to scientific reality tenuous at best. But the special effects are terrific, and the timing couldn't be better. Scientists, environmentalists and a few lonely politicians have been trying without great success to get the public and the Bush administration to take global warming seriously, and to inject the issue into a presidential campaign that so far seems determined to ignore it. Whatever its flaws, "The Day After Tomorrow"' could do more to elevate the issue than any number of Congressional hearings or high-minded tracts. That's one reason the American Museum of Natural History in Manhattan was happy to present the premiere in a theater not far from its Hall of Biodiversity, biodiversity being one of global warming's most likely victims. It's also a reason why mainstream environmental groups have rushed to offer sage commentary on what, after all, is just a mindless summer blockbuster. One group, the Worldwatch Institute, goes so far as to offer on its Web site energy-saving tips on how to ensure "a better day after tomorrow." It exhorts the 20 million Americans the producers hope to draw to the movie to install more efficient shower heads to cut down on hot water use, and to ride bikes to the theater instead of driving.
