    30 minutes. High.

    We kind of cover that point in the movie's logic but we'll see if it lands correctly. I think there were less story discussions on the ramifications of terraforming than there were "What should be in the trailer?" Hahaha, oh man...

    The movie airs the 27th. We'll see if they want to on the 28th, hahaha. Would love to but in the realm of sci-fi, I am quite insignificant. I just hope everyone has fun for a couple of hours.

    Have to agree. But the speech is only five lines in the movie. It's just all over the trailer for some reason. It was much longer in the script and when we read it we were like, "You can't rip off THAT speech!" So we cut it down...and down...and down... and hopefully it's not too egregious

I was shooting for something much meaner, like when a muscle car roars up from behind blasting death metal, but we needed it to fly without an apparent propulsion system (no $$$ to build that in CG) so we ended up on "spinning."

    Man, tough to argue those points. Was always an alien invasion movie, then it was decided to have it take place on the 4th, then was inexplicably named "Independence Day.........Saster" as if to not even mind the blatantness! But aside from those points (errr...) it's a much smaller story on a much smaller scale. The
