WHY 2012?
The economic crisis did not inspire a film about the collapse of civilization, director Brad Grimm said -- mythology did.
When actor and writer Sam Lawther began working on the concept three years ago, lore about the date 2012 made it seem like "the perfect time" for the film, Grimm said.The classical Mayan calendar will finish a 5,125-year cycle on Dec. 21, 2012, according to New Age writer Daniel Pinchbeck. On that day, the sun will also line up with the Milky Way galaxy -- a once-in-26,000 years event, according to Cornell University's "Ask an Astronomer" Web site.
But there were more surprises ahead. The crew decided to feature a white buffalo in the film. One of the rare animals was born in November 2006 at the Woodland Zoo in Farmington, in southwestern Pennsylvania.Grimm learned some Native American spiritual leaders see the animal -- and a black buffalo born at the zoo a few months later -- as signs.
"The white buffalo signified a warning, whereas the black buffalo meant the creator had given up on humanity," he said.
It was one of many "freaky" occurrences, he said."I don't want to sound weird, but something about what we're doing is kind of on the right track," he said.
