Emmerich Gets Revenge On British Critics

Hollywood director [Roland Emmerich](https://contactmusic.6lgx.com/roland-emmerich) has used his latest movie to take revenge on British critics, who slated his previous film [The Patriot](https://contactmusic.6lgx.com/the-patriot).

[The Day After Tomorrow](https://contactmusic.6lgx.com/the-day-after-tomorrow), which is set to open in May (04), sees the world hit by a series of catastrophic ecological disasters caused by global warming.

And Emmerich - still upset by the bad reception afforded the American War of Independence movie in the UK, because of its one-sided portrayal of Brits - decided to take the opportunity to make Britain the first country to suffer from the freak weather.

He says, "England goes first."

Producer [Mark Gordon](https://contactmusic.6lgx.com/mark-gordon) adds, "It's payback for The Patriot and everything you got for that over here, isn't it?"
