On May 27, 1998, France discovered Deep Impact, Mimi Leder’s sci-fi disaster movie – produced by Steven Spielberg, please – with Robert Duvall, Thea Leoni, a very young Elijah Wood, Vanessa Redgrave, Morgan Freeman or even Jon Favreau.
Two films scarred us forever that year. While Deep Impact grossed over $349.5 million worldwide against a production budget of $80 million, Armageddon, released the same summer, surpassed it at the box office, with both projects being equally well received by critics. But Deep Impact was what astronomers described as more scientifically accurate, and which is revered by many today.
