Not waiting how the movie will perform in the box office, director slash producer of "" Roland Emmerich has projected his interest in adopting the movie as a TV series. The feature movie which will be released in U.S. cinemas on Friday, November 13 in fact is already in the process of being transformed to small screen.

Telling EW about his new project, Emmerich said that there are plenty to do in a TV show. "The plan is that it is 2013 and it's about what happens after the disaster," Emmerich opened up about the plot. "It is about the resettling of Earth. That is very, very fascinating."

In working, Emmerich will be assisted by someone expert in his field, Mark Gordon aka the executive producer of "" and "". Yet, it is not confirmed whether the epic drama TV version will be offered to ABC. While the Alphabet declined to comment, Gordon indeed said that the network is interested to develop a disaster drama after "" ends in midseason.

"I think people would be interested in this topic on a weekly basis," Gordon said when EW caught up with him on the movie's Tuesday premiere. "There's hope for the world despite the magnitude of the 2012 disaster as seen in the film. After the movie, there are some people who survive and the question is how will these survivors build a new world and what will it look like. That might make an interesting TV series."

this movie is an epic fail. no one likes this movie it is so bad i nearly shot my brains out at first 10 minutes. i cant see how anyone would like this movie. it is so played out and boring. hurling my body off a cliff would have been less painful than watching this movie. just from watching it im probly going to kill myself. i wish it would actually happen so no one would really live to see this movie. and another thing i am now cutting myself thanks to this movie and all of its horrible scenes. if u think this movie is good then u should just quit and go home

Nice, but they spoiled the end of the movie. Even though I knew it was going to end well. Even though I'm going to watch it.
