"Funnyman Seth Rogen was left stunned by a recent encounter with his moviemaking hero George Lucas - because the Star Wars director spent 20 minutes telling him the world would end in 2012.
Rogen was left speechless when Lucas and Steven Spielberg joined a movie meeting he was a part of - but the encounter has left him worried his life will be over next year.
He recalls, ?George Lucas sits down and seriously proceeds to talk for around 25 minutes about how he thinks the world is gonna end in the year 2012, like, for real. He thinks it.
?He?s going on about the tectonic plates and all the time Spielberg is, like, rolling his eyes, like, ?My nerdy friend won?t shut up, I?m sorry..."
UPDATE: Katie Lucas said on Twitter, "Regarding my pops thinking the world is going to end in 2012: I have no idea if the conversation actually happened. But he would TOTALLY say that. As a joke, obviously." So take Rogen's comments with a grain of salt.
UPDATE #2: Writing to Wired's Underwire blog, Lucasfilm PR's Lynne Hale said, "[Lucas] was not serious when he talked about the end of the world in 2012 but he is an adamant believer that the world is flat, that Stonehenge was built by aliens, and that the sun revolves around the Earth. These are among the many subjects he commonly discusses at length with Elvis, who he?s going to digitally insert into Indy 5 along with a roster of famous dead actors." Shocking revelations!
