Top Science Fair winners to preview and introduce new movie “The Core”
This year, the top ‘gold award’ science fair winners will have an extra perk – an opportunity to preview the new motion picture “The Core” before it opens to the public.
Students that receive a grand award, first, second, or third place award will be invited to attend a special awards ceremony at the Star Southfield Theater on Thursday, March 27, 2003 at 6:00 PM. As part of the awards ceremony, the students selected to compete in the State Science Fair will be selected; and the top nine projects will be introduced that will represent metro Detroit at the International Science Fair. Winners will then be selected to ‘introduce’ the new Paramount movie picture “The Core” (see synopsis below). Several of the top projects will also be on display.
The Science Fair will be open to the public on Thursday and Friday, March 27 and 28 from 9:00 AM until 8:00 PM. Admission is free.
SYNOPSIS OF MOVIE:
Geophysicist Dr. Josh Keyes (Eckhart, "Erin Brockovich") discovers that an unknown force has caused the earth's inner core to stop rotating. With the planet's magnetic field rapidly deteriorating, our atmosphere literally starts to come apart at the seams with catastrophic consequences. To resolve the crisis, Keyes, along with a team of the world's most gifted scientists, travel into the earth's core in a subterranean craft piloted by "terranauts," Major Rebecca "Beck" Childs (Swank, "Boys Don't Cry") and Commander Robert Iverson (Greenwood, "Thirteen Days"). Their mission: detonate a device that will reactivate the core.
RATING: PG-13
