For the new disaster epic
2012, Amanda Peet teamed up with good friend and former two-time costar John Cusack (they previously starred in
Martian Child and
Identity together) for what she promised would be the wildest disaster film yet. From Roland Emmerich, director of
The Day After Tomorrow and
Independence Day, comes the ultimate action-adventure film, exploding with groundbreaking special effects and one natural disaster after another. Also starring, Woody Harrelson, George Segal, Thandie Newton, Danny Glover, Oliver Platt, Chiwetel Ejiofor and Tom McCarthy, as the world faces a catastrophe of apocalyptic proportions, cities collapse and continents crumble.
2012 brings an end to the world (predicted in the Mayan calender) and tells of the heroic struggle of the survivors. In short,
2012 is another terrifying roller coaster ride of an action movie from director Roland Emmerich – Hollywood's master of disaster flicks.
Munching on a late-lunch bagel, Peet, the long-haired, beautiful brunette – dressed in a sexy, white satin shortie shirt dress (with a big white bow), a gray cotton suit jacket, black tights and mile-high black suede stiletto heels – confessed that she is a self-professed non-believer in the apocalypse and is a true skeptic about people predicting the exact date about the end of the world. Hanging out in a plush, Manhattan, skyscraper hotel with members of the press just beore the blockbuster opening of
2012 this past winter, Peet talked about working with Emmerich, costar Cusack (for the third time) and being around green-screens that stood in for the CGI shots of falling buildings and crashing planes, trains and automobiles.. Amanda talked about her own views concerning the time and date when the world will come to an end, revealed what scares her the most about living in New York City, admitted she would be useless during a disaster and joked that the only way she'd get through one is with a couple of mother's little helpers.

What was it like watching the production of 2012 unfold?“It was certainly nothing like what the final product was. But I don't know anything really, I'm just a dumb actor. (laughs) The images were crude, like a video-game, but they still made me laugh, and think that this was going to be scary. So it was kinda – shocking! And amazing. But I feel (director) Roland (Emmerich) is certainly bold and the master of this genre. So, it was kind of a no-brainer.”
What is Roland Emmerich like on the set of such an epic motion picture?“Roland is so sweet. He never loses his temper or raises his voice. He's just so gentle. And on a project of this scale with so many people, it was hard to understand how he just wasn't a lunatic egomaniac tyrant. He's none of those things at all. So I don't understand how he gets anything done, being so gentle. He's just so gifted with these massive sh*tkickers. So while Roland is the master of disaster, he doesn't know how to do it without making all these little intimate moments important, too.”
image:64135:2::0
What is your take on the story behind 2012?“You know, we're all really anxious, and we live in unstable times. I definitely think he's playing with that idea in
2012, that we all live in fear of some great catastrophe. I think we go to the movies to have a catharsis. You know, we're being told all the time that our planet is falling apart. And Roland's fantasy is that in the face of catastrophe, people will come together. So, he dares to dream. But this movie is like going on a roller coaster. Though, I can't anymore myself, I get sick! But it's a controlled way of scaring yourself. So in a safe, controlled environment, you can really enjoy being scared. In a masochistic way.”
Do you believe in the end of the world as predicted by the Mayan calendar prophecy in 2012?“I don't.”
So you're skeptical kind of gal?“I couldn't be more skeptical about it. I don't believe it. I worry about the planet, but that date is the least of my worries.”
image:64136:3::0
What was it like working with John Cusack again?“Well, at least we're lovers in this movie, more than we've ever been allowed to be. So that was really fun. John is very special to me. But yeah, this is our third time together. (
Martian Child, Identity) And every time I work together with him, I remember again how brilliant he is, and very rare. And he always had my back. Like people will ask me, 'What's so great about him? And I can't ever explain it. I know he has this kind of vulnerability, this Tom Hanks everyman thing. Yet he's more edgy. Yeah, he's really special. He should have a lot of Oscars coming. Soon. Dammit!” (laughs)
How did it feel to get all emotional acting with a green screen behind you and things that are not there at all? “It felt gratuitous, indulgent, and probably fake. All things I was during this shoot. And I would be like 'Wow, we really suck!' But there were like tons of things Roland did where I went, he can't do those thing. And he does. He's very bold. And his boldness pays off. Unlike me! My boldness doesn't pay off. My boldness is just embarrassing.”
Does anything scare you? “Yeah, I have a lot of fear living in New York City. I think more about that here, than in LA. I think in LA, you don't feel as vulnerable because everything is spread out. But here, obviously because of 9/11 and how close we are together, it just feels more vulnerable. And recently when they raised the alert level, as I'm walking down the subway steps I'm like, 'Should I be walking down the subway steps?' But I can't help it. And weirdly, most of the time I think about that on the subway. I mean, it's not that weird. But I always say to myself, 'Don't stop taking the subway because of this shit. Get on the fucking subway!'” (laughs)
Do you find it hard to walk away from the emotionally crazy scenes you have to do?“No. If you couldn't come out of it, that would make you a – crazy person! And I have a daughter that I come home to every day, even shooting in Vancouver. And she just wanted to read
The Cat In The Hat and stuff. So, it's not like I can stay depressed and lugubrious about everything!
Do you ever ask yourself, “How would I really react in a crisis situation like this?” “Yeah, I asked myself that all the time.”
Well, what about the end of the world. are you an optimist?“Um...I really hope that people would come together. You know, I definitely feel that my generation just got a kick in the ass, with Obama. He's my man. So I feel I woke up a little bit. And I wasn't here on 9/11, but I grew up here in NY. But you know, when you're hated as much as we are around the world, it's not the worst thing to be as charismatic and handsome, and have a sense of humor, as he has. I was born and raised here (in New York City).
image:64134:1::0
And my friends told me stories, and my mom was working the hotlines on 9/11. She's a retired social worker, but she went and worked the hot-lines. And all of a sudden, people came together. And everybody was everybody's neighbor. That's a great thing. And hopefully, that's the point of the movie. It's Roland's dream of how it would be, should something like that happen.”
How do you react in moments of panic?“Ha! Well, my husband (David Benioff) always says that I would make a terrible general. Which actually isn't that upsetting or disappointing for me to hear. Because I didn't aspire to be a big general. But I guess I'm a pretty big panicker.”
What do you do when you panic? “Pills! (laughs)Yeah, I'm just not good at keeping cool in a difficult situation. And my husband is thankfully much cooler than I am. So, it's a good thing he's around.”
