John Cusack will step into Roland Emmerich's latest epic for his next project. According to Variety, Cusack has signed on for 2012.

The trade also reports that Chiwetel Ejiofor is in talks to join the project as well. The film will center on a researcher who finds a portal to a parralel universe and he goes into that world to contact his double to warn him and try to prevent the upcoming apocalypse that the ancient Mayans predicted.

Emmerich wrote the script with Harald Kloser, and Emmerich will produce as well, but it is not clear if he will direct as well. Production is planned for a July start in Los Angeles, barring a Screen Actors Guild strike.

Sounds like a good idea. Just hope Emmerich directs at his best for this, and it should be great. Was looking forward to 10,000 BC, but like Darktower19 says, the woolly mammoths in the desert summed that up. Was ID a fluke? Hope not.

The whole parralel universe thing sounds like a sci fi movie on tv....
