When you think "Roland Emmerich disaster-film leading man," the image of John Cusack probably isn't the one that leaps straight to mind. But that's who Emmerich specifically sought for this week's epic 2012.htm'>2012, which, for all of its floods, volcanoes and California-collapsing temblors, is something of a classically Cusackian tale of underdog romance and wry grace under pressure. The actor plays Jackson Curtis, a failed writer, husband and father who accidentally encounters word of a world-ending series of natural disasters. Jackson manages to land squarely in the middle of all of them with his estranged family, resulting in the slow correction of perhaps 2012.htm'>2012's biggest disaster -- himself. Cusack spoke to Movieline last week about his unlikely-ish collaboration with Hollywood's modern cataclysm kingpin, the public's love of disaster, and his own favorite classics of the genre.
