How to write the perfect disaster movie Posted: 11 months ago by chez
A lot of the best disasters – asteroids, aliens, earthquakes, tsunamis – have already been taken, sometimes twice, as in the embarrassing simultaneous releases of Armageddon/Deep Impact and Volcano/Dante's Peak. So you'll have to be a bit creative. Pick something unusual: what if gravity started going sideways instead of straight down, say?

I say Gravitocolypse makes it to the big screen by next summer.

Great movie!, the only thing that was missing was a tub of greasy popcorn.

The celebratory mood should be punctured by a brief phone call to the scientist from the head of the army with the upsetting news that "we lost Canada".
heh!

The world would be a safer place if everything was built out of palm trees, plastic dolls and puppy dogs. Pretty much every disaster film I've seen has these three items surviving whatever the catastrophic event is.

The three of them should come up with a plan to stop the disaster – the more unrealistic the better. A good one in this case would be to have someone jump off the Empire State Building like a diving board in order to activate a nuclear weapon that would destroy the moon and thus reset earth's gravity; anything like that, really.
Yeah, pretty much. After all, they made The Core, right?

Awesome link.

I love disaster movies, even if they all follow this exact same formula.
