2012: The Doomsday Movie in Pre-Production

2012 The Doomsday Movie is a comedy about the coming disaster. Unlike the current 2012 feature circulating the box offices, we don’t have the budget to destroy the whole world, so we’ll have to settle on middle America. In our feature, the Mayan Gods can’t complete the full curse because the center of the Mayan calendar has been stolen. So the Earth is spared, at least for a couple of days. That begins the journey of Bad Mayans, Yuck (Death God) and Depressia (Suicide Goddess) seeking the center of the calendar. The Good Mayans; Ah Choo (Sun God), Kook (Wind/Rain Gods) and Cornball (Maize God) head out to stop the destruction of Earth. In the meantime, the Riddle family is dealing with issues from the curse and their own adventure to make things right.

This feature length film has a little of everything, drama, darkness, comedy, Gods, zombies, cheerleaders and a host of mishap and mayhem, leaving the fate of the world in the wrong hands. It’s our intentions to market this to a distributor, who will circulate the theaters like any other movie. In addition, we intend to hold early premieres locally, unless contract issues come up. We’ve already begun the pre-production phase and added a lot of local talent, many with big league experience. As a team we’ll make a memorable movie that will shake the world in 2011, so be on the look out for exciting things to come.
