The War for Souls

From AICN, "his next flick is going to be a sci-fi movie, an adaptation of Whitley Strieber's upcoming novel 2012: THE WAR FOR SOULS. I'm guessing they're only keeping the 2012 part of the title.

The story that Strieber (who wrote THE WOLFEN) came up with focuses on a scientist that discovers multiple versions of Earth exist in different dimensions and that all of them are doomed to perish in 2012, as predicted by the Mayans.

He has to team up with an alternate dimension self to figure out how to stop the apocalypse.
Bay is in line to direct and his writers on TRANSFORMERS, Roberto Orci and Alex Kurtzman, will produce. They aren't writing the script, though. They are currently looking for someone to adapt.
Sounds like more big spectacle from Bay. I'm sure he'll make Earth blow up real nice-like... be very interesting to see what a Michael Bay apocalypse looks like on screen... Tiny, I'm sure. Understated, even... yeah..."

Freakin' Mayans, man.

Can you imagine how boring it would be to see Michael Bay's collection of memorabilia?
