Twenty-five years ago, two movies about deadly asteroids collided at the global box office – with very different results.
1998 was a bad year to be planet Earth. Call it a quirk of fate, call it multiple Hollywood studios having the same idea at the same time, but somehow humanity found itself on a collision course withoversized lumps of rock and ice. One was a comet named Wolf-Biederman, the other an asteroid known simply as Dottie, and each had the potential to wipe out all life as we know it.
The cast was a mix of respected Oscar-friendly veterans , familiar faces from"ER" and several up-and-comers . It also had the good sense to cast Morgan Freeman as U.S. president Tom Beck – announcements about the world's imminent demise go down much easier when they're delivered byFrom left to right: Jon Favreau, Mary McCormack, Aleksandr Baluev, Ron Eldard, Robert Duvall, and Blair Underwood and in Deep Impact .
The cast was similarly A-list. Back in 1998, stars didn't come much bigger than Bruce Willis, and he was joined by two of the most sought-after young actors in Hollywood in the form of Ben Affleck and Liv Tyler. The supporting cast was populated by a bunch of credible indie stars – such as Billy Bob Thornton, Steve Buscemi, and Peter Stormare – who were just as likely to be seen in a Coen brothers’ film as a summer tentpole.
