From Sci-Fi Wire:

Dennis Quaid, who will play a climatologist in Roland Emmerich's upcoming SF thriller movie The Day After Tomorrow, told SCI FI Wire that he'll make it up as he goes along when he begins filming in a month. "As far as any preparation for it and stuff like that, there's no big active preparation for that, because the movie is the star of the movie," Quaid said in an interview.

Quaid's character will have to stop a sudden global warming and a new ice age in New York, which will lead to the sorts of catastrophic special effects of Emmerich's other big hits, he said. "I loved Independence Day myself, because of just that ride," Quaid said. "It's not my usual taste, but I did love that ride, and this is just going to be a big action end-of-the-world movie."
