The President of the United States has super star status. He's not a normal person, because he's protected like no other person in the world and if this man's life is in danger, the whole world is kind of in peril in a way, because the leader of the free world could fall into the hands of terrorists.

In the end [of the 2012], there were no ships, no water, no nothing. Only the interiors [were real]. Everything else had to be made, and that is always challenging.

I'm finished with destroying for a while. It's not like I'm running around saying, 'What else can I destroy?'

In the first earthquake scene [ in 2012], there was only a limo and a plane. That was it. There was nothing else there, so everything had to be created in the computer, and that's always very difficult.

I knew that Jaye Davidson would not last because of that. I really liked him and thought he had incredible screen presence and talent, but I knew that he would not stay in that profession.

There's a rule in Hollywood: stay away from water and stay away from snow, and I had both.

Image
I always try to convince people that there has to be a lot of material about the subject matter, so they created a couple of pieces. One is about doomsday prophecies.
