Talk about the hugest spoiler in the history of film...(IMHO)
Right before the movie even opened for the public, news of a '2012' spin-off show had hit the web. The show is set to take place after the disaster of 2012, with humanity struggling to pick up the pieces and start anew, which means somebody survived the near impossible scenarios that are displayed in the trailers. The scenarios are so outrageous and bleak that I can't watch the trailer before bed. Yes, I am sad.
Whether or not any of the characters from the film will transport to television is yet to be known, but what we do know is that the show now has a home: FX Network.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, the show will begin airing on FX Network in the year 2012 along with the cable rights for the film. Cable seems to be the logical place for such a show. You can't have gritty, depressive struggles on network TV. Ask Southland.
So will you watch 2012? And if you have seen the movie yet, do you think that a show would work or fail? Sound off below!

I saw the movie and was entertained for 2.5 hours.
It could work. It could work really well. And, trying not to spoiler more, the setting (should they follow the movie) would be a nice change from mainstream Hollywood.
But please, Powers That Be, take a page from the “Stargate: Universe” critiques. The film did a great job with minorities in major roles. Women, however, are more than wives, girlfriends, and daughters. We can be scientists, soldiers, engineers, doctors and teachers; and we can be strong without being bitchy.
