We've been teased before with teasers, but a full trailer for Roland Emmerich's latest disaster CG-fest, 2012, has just gone up at Yahoo (with a little intro from the director).

It's nothing to do with Arthur C. Clark or Stanley Kubrick, but instead based on a Mayan prophecy that the world will end at the 2012 solstice. Hey, that means we'll miss Batman 3! But it truly does look spectacular: we've got avalanches, floods, an eclipse, mass suicides, forest fires, what looks like a meteor strike, earthquake, and an airlifted giraffe. And is that LA falling into the ocean? Bill Hicks would be delighted!

John Cusack is on hand though, which bodes well, and the cast is pretty strong: Chiwetel Ejiofor, Thandie Newton, Oliver Platt, Woody Harrelson, and Danny Glover as the US President.  

2012 is out in November.
