Roland Emmerich ("The Day After Tomorrow," "Independence Day") is set for another apocalyptic epic entitled "2012" reports Variety.

The German director, about to release prehistroic actioneer "10,000 B.C.", shopped the script he co-wrote with Harald Kloser around to studios on Tuesday and nearly all of them were interested enough to meet with him today to hear his budget projection and creative aspirations.

After that, studios will bid on an essentially greenlit film that Emmerich intends to direct next and have ready for a Summer 2009 release.
