2012: Supernova is a 2009 direct-to-video science fiction disaster film by The Asylum. As with the previous film, titled 2012: Doomsday is a mockbuster of the Roland Emmerich film 2012, which was released a month later. It is the second film in the Asylum's 2012 Trilogy though the films have nothing to do with one another. The third film is titled 2012: Ice Age.
When a star gone supernova threatens to destroy the Earth, an astrophysicist puts together a dangerous and desperate plan to shield the Earth from the destructive burst of radiation heading toward it.

Reception
The film has mostly poor reviews for various reasons, including its conveniently timed release so close to the release of the film 2012, which is based on a similar concept.
Sequel
Another sequel was released the following year entitled 2012: Ice Age and borrowing elements from another of Roland Emmerich's films, The Day After Tomorrow.
