What's
the difference anyway? I've
posted the first few pages of my attempt to compare
and contrast the differences between the movie MISSION
TO MARS and the script to the movie.
Did
you know that the script featured a launch scene
of the Mars 2 crew leaving the Earth and that the
Mars 1 astronauts were killed in a different manner?
Bet you didn't.

What
I'm working on... Right
now, yes even as YOU
read this, I'm currently compiling a list of the
similarities and differences between the movie M2M
and the script to the movie. So far, I've gotten
about ten pages of material from the script that
either didn't appear at all in the movie or was
shown in an altered version.
The
most interesting thing that I've found in doing
this are the cut scenes from the script. To name
a few, there's a launch sequence of the Mars 2 rescue
mission from Earth and and extended ending – neither
being seen in the finished film.
Look
for the start of this material showing up online
this weekend.

Really
good news after all? I
hate to admit this, but I don't think that I'm going
to get the prizes that I won.

Gary
Sinise speaks out Gary
Sinise had something to say about the movie MISSION
TO MARS in the last (March 31, 2000) issue of ENTERTAINMENT
WEEKLY:
ACT
OUT
"Sometimes you're doing physical things where
you're supposed to be looking at something, but
it's really just an 'X' on a board. That's acting.
I compare it to being in theater where you have
to stand on the lip of the stage and see the city
on fire, when you're really just looking at the
'exit' sign on the balcony. You pretend, that's
a;;."
