This report in today’s Wall Street Journal is pretty much self-explanatory, but can you believe the amount of money Sony Pictures is spending to promote their 2012 film?

If you were watching television last night between 10:50 p.m. and 11 p.m. last night, chances are, you saw a new two-minute trailer for Sony Pictures’s upcoming disaster epic “2012.” In a huge commercial roadblock, 90% of all homes watching ad-supported tv — including ABC, CBS, NBC, and various cable, local tv, and Spanish-language networks — were exposed to the disaster-iffic scene, which featured John Cusack attempting to help Amanda Peet and several other actors navigate a crumbling Los Angeles (think airplanes swooping through collapsing buildings and cars zooming over a crushed highway.

Directed by Roland Emmerich, who also helmed “Independence Day” and “The Day After Tomorrow” and clearly has never met an explosion he didn’t like, the ensemble film revolves around the idea that the world will end in 2012, and co-stars Danny Glover, Oliver Platt, Woody Harrelson and a slew of others. “2012″ will be released Nov. 13.
