    I still think the story will be derivative, cliched crap.

    BUT... Cameron does tech soooooo well. Just plain neato stuff here.

    Giovani Ribissi just made a joke at the reporter's expense. That is fucking AWESOME.

    There's no way that James Cameron would put this much time and care into this film and have them mining "unobtanium."

    It's not the same metal from The Core. Unobtainium is a generic term scientists give to ANY extremely rare or non-existent material.

    Wow, that docu-trailer was the first one to actually make me believe the movie is going to be really good.

    Personally, I enjoyed The Core. I thought it was a pretty fantastic "B Movie" and was right up there with The Day After Tomorrow and more recently 2012. It takes a strong suspension of disbelief but isn't that was sci-fi is about anyway?

    @Jared Bennett: The Core is one of my favorite guilty pleasure movies. If I'm flipping through the channels and it's on (likely on FX), I have little choice but to watch it.

    @Jared Bennett: The only problem with The Core is the female lead, really don't like her in anything and it baffles me how so many think she is such a good actress. Hillary Swank needs to go away.

    Hello, Meredith: "You know: the hotter and faster you work it, the harder it gets. Ah, made up science-fictional materials, how we love thee — especially handwavium." Great line you saucy, saucy, editor you. Way to keep it interesting. ;)

    @tetracycloide: Whoever else she keeps busy is one lucky person. Is it just me or do you think the editors have a side bet on the number of provacative posted columns they can do in one week?

    Half this movie takes place at my high school.

    Also: I love Saoirse Ronan.

    Also: this looks way more amazing than I thought it would.

    Stanley Tucci is an amazing actor. It would be nice if he got an Oscar nod out of this.

    @it must be bunnies: he admitted he was frighten of the concepted of killing a child in the movie . But Peter Jackson told him that scene was cut-out . Cause in the book ,Stanley`s character horribly rapes and murders the girl.
