TMZ.com is running a report today that sci-fi author Whitley Strieber's upcoming book 2012: The War for Souls may become a Michael Bay film for Warner Bros. In addition, there's a chance that Bay will also direct the picture.
According to the site's info, the year 2012 is a pivotal one for the great planet Earth, "supposedly &#Array; a year of either great spiritual transformation -- or apocalypse." The Mayans believed that year would see the "world order" reversed, good old Nostradamus predicted a comet's collision with the planet, and the Catholic Saint Malachy believed that the last Pope would arrive in 2012, setting off Judgment Day (but with no mention of Terminators, alas). Also, aliens might show up.
Less cheeky is a claim by some scientists that a polar reversal could take place that year, a potentially globe-altering event if ever there was one. TMZ is also reporting that DreamWorks-based producers Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci (also the writers behind the new Star Trek film) are on the project as producers as well, and may also script the film.
