Roland Emmerich quotes about
In the first earthquake scene [ in "2012"], there was only a limo and a plane. That was it. There was nothing else there, so everything had to be created in the computer, and that's always very difficult.
["2012"] it was really more about the subject matter, and to do a modern retelling of Noah's Ark, a flood story.

For example, the PEOC, the Presidential Emergency Operations Center exists, but nobody knows how it looks, but it's a so called bunker where he can survive a nuclear attack.
