2012 sequel to see planet turn inside out

a huge explosion of the type that might be featured in a 2012 sequel

A 2012 sequel has been announced that will see the earth turn inside out.

It had been thought that there wouldn’t be a sequel to the Roland Emmerich classic because it would be impossible to come up with a plot more stupid than rogue neutrinos heat up the earth’s core so that everyone has to go and live in the sea with Oliver Platt.

“Yeah, they said we couldn’t come up with anything as stupid as 2012, but they just don’t know Hollywood,” said producer John Newton.

“I mean really, the first one is going to seem like the brainiest thing ever compared to this.”

Newton explained how they came up with the idea of the earth turning inside out for the 2012 sequel.

“Heavy drinking, mainly,” he confirmed.

“I mean, you just get a bunch of guys in a room with a couple of crates of beer and some whisky and let them go at it. When everyone comes to, we pick through the notes.

“It’s how we came up with 2012.”

It is understood that other ideas for the 2012 sequel included the earth being squashed by Mars and the Moon, having its top sliced off by a really sharp meteor, or shrinking to the size of a pea.

Newton gave an overview of what the plot

“A scientist and a retired stuntman have to battle through a series of special effects as they race to find an old Tibetan lady who can use her mystic knowledge of Gaia and crystals to stop the catastrophe of the world turning inside out that was prophesised by, I don’t know, the Zulus.”

The film will star a well-regarded indie actor who’s slumming it for the money alongside a slightly past-their-prime Hollywood legend who’s slumming it for the money.

The 2012 sequel will be released in 2021 and, if successful, will be followed by a further sequel that sees the planet accidentally squashed flat and Russell Crowe and Timothee Chalamet have to figure out how to re-inflate it.


*Alright, perhaps ‘love’ is pushing it, maybe ‘be mildly diverted by’
