What is Roland Emmerich up to?

Studios are currently abuzz about a new sci-fi script penned by big budget disaster director Roland Emmerich ("Godzilla," "2012," "The Day After Tomorrow"). While very little is known about the project other than its working title "Singularity," Deadline tells us that Sony is going to soon announce its aquisition of the property.
Even though it seems that the director is throwing a monkey wrench into his career as a disaster filmmaker with his upcoming Shakespeare drama "Anonymous," I think it is safe to assume that Emmerich will return to his winning formula with this new sci-fi film.
Which brings me to a little game I would like to play. Based on the title, what do you think the film will be about? Please let us know in the comments below.
My guess: It is the year 4026 and a singular and momentous event threatens to annihilate the human race. Due to the world's inability to stop global warming, the Sun is on a collision course with Earth.
As the people of earth are engaged in a brutal civil war, they must set aside their differences and band together to build a space shield that will not only stop the sun from plummeting into the Earth, but also use the Sun's energy to energize the Earth for years to come.
