Just wanted to know if you knew anything about my following question.
From what I see in the previews, this movie looks very good...it also looks
like it is based on a novel titled "The Genesis Rock" by Edwin Corley
copyrighted in 1980.
This novel is about a volcano which pops up in Manhattan near central park.
I just checked the book out again (good story)...here is the cover leaf
description:
A small fissure has opened in the bedrock under Manhattan, and miles beneath
the surface of the earth an awsome natural time bomb is ready to spew steam,
boiling-hot sediment, and molten rock down every street and avenue of the
city.
There is one person in New York who knows what is happening...Janet McCoy, a
beautiful and brilliant young geologist, specializing in volcanic activity.
She believes that the recent subway excavations in Central Park have
unearthed more than a few steam pipes. She has found among the blasted
stones at the site, one crucial and terrifying clue - a fragment of "Genesis
Rock", part of the earth's inner crust that surfaces only through the
violence of volcanic eruption.
Does this sound familiar? Think this may be related to the movie? Only a
change of locale from NY to LA. If this movie is based on the book, it will
be very good.
Let me know what you think.
