Roland Emmerich Reviews, Interviews & More

The plot of the relentlessly mediocre Olympus Has Fallen is this: former Secret Service agent Gerard Butler pulls a Die Hard and acts as a one man army as terrorists take over the White House.  And the plot of White House Down is as follows:  former Secret Service agent Channing Tatum pulls a Die Hard and acts as a one man...

How’s this for cheesy: the 1996 blockbuster Independence Day is receiving not one, but two sequels—entitled Independence Day Forever Part One and Independence Day Forever Part Two—which will be shot in 2D and then given the odious 3D post-conversion, and will focus on being “lovable.”  Oh, a million...

It’s still a bit of a touchy subject for some, but do you remember how you felt about Star Wars: Episode One - The Phantom Menace? How about Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull? The Godfather Part III? Well, you may not be surprised to know these and many more have been ranked in the Top 50 most disappointing movies...

Despite the Roland Emmerich glitz and glamour that has absolutely nothing to do with Shakespeare and the overt repetition of names like Marlowe and Jonson (remember, they wrote plays too!), Anonymous is a success and Emmerich, though some may question with such a topic and tease for a few of the EXTREME wide shots, has managed to capture what truly matters about...

The man behind the CGI curtain, reveals a new side to his filmmaking -- director Roland Emmerich, known for his amazing special effects, is soon to be thought of for his heart and knowledge of Shakespeare. Anonymous, his up and coming film is a sexy way of giving people a possible history lesson, that somehow manages to also hold a great deal of meaning. He took...

Roland Emmerich is famous for destroying things. In Independence Day he blew up the White House, in Godzilla, he flattened New York, and in 2012, he pretty much wrecked the entire planet. What's left? Well, the Anonymous trailer suggests his next target is William Shakespeare. Or perhaps...

Sony just released a number of new pictures and synopsis' for their upcoming films, but the one that caught my eye is Roland Emmerich's Anonymous.

Roland Emmerich destroys the world again and this time, there's no place to hide! If you believe the Mayans that the end of the world is less than 3 years away.

If you're a fan of these types of movies, than chances are, you know Roland and you exactly what you're paying to see when you walk into that theater. The film is a...

2012 crashes into theaters this weekend with all the destruction you could possibly hope for. A few weeks ago in Wyoming not far from the highly explosive Yellowstone National Park, we got to talk to director Roland Emmerich, John Cusack, Amanda Peet, and Chiwetel Ejiofor on their thoughts about big budget action films, the myths behind 2012, and how Roland decides...

This week in theaters, Roland Emmerich, the master of cinematic world-destruction will be releasing his latest film 2012 with Amanda Peet and John Cusack. The film feels like you're on a roller-coaster ride with the world crashing down around you. The only way to make the movie even more fun is to add some booze!

Roland Emmerich has been a busy man. With the upcoming release of 2012, and a Shakespeare project in the works, how will he find the time to make a sequel to Independence Day? The 1996 action blockbuster that broke records, and made Will Smith an international movie star may have more story to tell according to Latino Review.

After 2012 gets released, action-thriller director Roland Emmerich plans on trading in tidal waves and earthquakes for a more subtle and dramatic challenge, Shakespeare. Or rather a fictional story about the man who may have actually written Shakespeare's plays. You might see this as a huge jump for Emmerich, who won't have the big budget and special effects that...

Last night the television networks went crazy when over 100 channels premiered a five minute clip from the Roland Emmerich film, 2012. The footage will look eerily familiar to those of you who attended the movie's panel at this year's Comic-Con. It's pretty much the same footage, but they edited out a swear word or two for general audience purposes. The language may...

The Roland Emmerich disaster flick, 2012 won't hit theaters for another two months, but we've got just the thing to tide you over.

A new clip has been released from the upcoming Roland Emmerich film, 2012. The following footage isn't as peaceful and serene as the theatrical poster we showed you yesterday, but it does give us a glimpse of John Cusack in action. The film won't hit theaters until November 13th, so this is the best we can do until another trailer is released to the...

A new poster has been released for Roland Emmerich's latest disaster flick, 2012. Out of all of the one-sheets we've published from the film, this is by far my favorite. As a director, Emmerich is known for creating onscreen chaos, but the following poster promotes the exact opposite. If anything, it gives a visual of what it truly means to be calm in the center of...
