2012: Supernova
2012: Supernova is a 2009 direct-to-video science fiction disaster film directed by Anthony Fankhauser and starring Brian Krause, Heather McComb, and Najarra Townsend. It was distributed by The Asylum. As with the previous film, titled "2012: Doomsday", "2012: Supernova" is a mockbuster of the Roland Emmerich film "2012", which was released a month later. It is the second film in the Asylum's "2012" Trilogy though the films have nothing to do with one another. The third film is titled "2012: Ice Age". Premise. When a star gone supernova threatens to destroy Earth, an astrophysicist puts  together a dangerous and desperate plan to shield Earth from the destructive burst of radiation heading toward it. Reception. HorrorNews.net reviewed the film, writing that "Frankhauser’s depiction of what will happen in 2012 is action packed, but lacks in character development and believability impedes the likability of the movie to a certain extent." Sequel. Another sequel was released the following year entitled "2012: Ice Age" and borrowing elements from another of Roland Emmerich's films, "The Day After Tomorrow".
