Hi Brinellers.
It's been a while since I've put out a call to the Brin Irregulars. But this seems a worthy topic for discussion, whether or not I seek the services of a high powered Hollywood lawyer.
I just saw a TV ad for this new movie THE CORE. And I'm afraid I now see more similarities with EARTH than I did the first time a synopsis came out.
So let's discuss it. Do any of you have access to more information about this awful thing? A web site? A list of the producers? Plot summaries?
If I do move forward, I'll need to find page numbers in EARTH where similarities can be tagged. E.g. the use of earthquakes as a weapon.
True, they appear to have gone for the stupidest possible way to re-interpret my ideas. Diving in a crewed ship to chase the 'thing' inside the Earth must have sounded more dramatic to some [EMAIL PROTECTED] producer than 'fencing' with gravity beams.
Still, they have deprived me of a possible source of livelihood. I want to find out if anyone along their trail spoke to me in the past.
It should make for an interesting discussion, even if I finally decide to let it lay.-
;-)
