Amanda Peet, who plays a character in Roland Emmerich's upcoming apocalyptic film
2012, revealed to reporters a bit of the top-secret film's plot structure.
"So there are two stories, so basically I don't know what I'm supposed to give away, but obviously the world is sort of in peril," Peet said in a group interview Nov. 19 in Los Angeles, at which point her publicists gave her a shush sign. "Well, we're in peril, obviously!" she said with a laugh. "And some people know that we're in peril, and some people don't. Like some people in the government. So there are a few different stories. And I'm with a family that doesn't know. So we're in a survival story, basically. ... I'm a civilian."
