Re: Brin: The Core: list of ripoffs

Regarding Earth, I noticed last week that the trailer is formatted
according this book.

-THey start tellink of an undetectable weapon
-Then it is said that something failed.
-then they present a guy telling that he is going to computer-hack the
 Earth. This is not the context in the film, where the guy just manipulates
 internet.
-They finishs  by telling that the film is about Earth itself (I have
heard the spanish version, where the pronoum is herself).

At least it is an intriging idea: to plagiarize a different book for the
trailer, so the trailer does not give clues of the film. Nice.

  Time to read some Harlan Ellison?
  
  What in particular?  I read _An Edge In My Voice_ earlier this year
  

I was refering to non-fiction events of the making of Starlost and then

Are there other Hollywood horror stories out there?
