Sounds like a real yawner.
It'll be interesting; you'll see. There'll be CGI wooly mammoths and giant carnivorous birds galore.
Yeah, we have literally decades of mediocrity to look forward to.
So...why don't they just bring back Jericho instead of trotting out more end of the world shows (Day One for instance)? All end of the world shows are pretty much like every other, but Jericho at least had a nifty latter-day Civil War scenario to add a new angle.
The Asteroid turns out to be a Good Asteroid and has to save Earth from its Evil Clone Asteroid.I think Armageddon could work as a TV series. Just think of the potential -- a different asteroid is heading for earth every week! One can be the son of the original asteroid out for revenge. How about a haunted asteroid? An asteroid made out of chocolate? An asteroid made out of cheese! A hypnosis asteroid. A computer virus asteroid! A time-traveling asteroid could bring back Bruce Willis' character!
Will the evil one be wearing an eye patch and goatee?
And leather You forgot about leather.
Maybe John Cusack's character in the series can be played by Michael Shanks.
This is the worst idea in the long, sad, history of bad ideas.
I'd strill wait and see if this actually happens, Emmerich has been talking about a sequel to ID4 so I kind of doubt he'd get involved in a TV with a major movie in the works.

His involvement could be similar to JJ Abram's involvement in Fringe while he was making Star Trek. Just sort of get the ball rolling, throw them a few ideas...

I can't stand the advertisements for the movie. Now, we're going to have to deal with advertisements for the tv show...?
There's a reason our remotes have a MUTE button.
They're called commercials.

They stick this commercial first during the break, so I still have to hear the opening line about the mayan calendar predicting our destruction.
I haven't totally spoiled this movie for myself yet, not like it's much to really spoil, but...
Am I the only one where, when the ads said "They're building ships..." thought of "When Worlds Collide"? Yeah, I know, there's no other world involved here. Or it there--like I said, I haven't spoiled this.

You forgot about the asteroid that turns half the cast into children, the body-switching asteroid, and the asteroid that makes someone intangible.

Seriously, I wouldn't put much stock in what Emmerich says. Some producer probably mentioned it offhand over lunch, and to Roland's oxygen-sniffing puppydog mind, that meant "It's a done deal!"
