Once described by veteran film critic Roger Ebert as "the most talented actor in his age group in Hollywood history," Elijah Wood's transformation from child prodigy to global superstar can be summed up in five simple words: The Lord of the Rings. Like his character in Peter Jackson's original trilogy, the fresh-faced 18-year-old agreed to shoulder a heavy burden when he took on the part of Frodo Baggins, leading a blockbuster franchise that carried the expectations of millions of J.R.R. Tolkien fans the world over. A decade-and-a-half has passed since then, and while the cultural impact of the films (along with the three prequels) has kept The Lord of the Rings relevant, its young star seems to have faded entirely. How did he go from being one of the most recognizable actors in the world to someone operating on the fringes of the industry? Here's the real reason we don't hear about Elijah Wood anymore. He accused Hollywood of harboring child molesters Getty Images Wood recently got on the wrong side of Hollywood execs when he told a UK newspaper that the American film industry was full of sexual predators targeting young actors. During an interview with The Sunday Times, Wood said, "If you can imagine it, it probably happened." The actor further elaborated, saying, "If you're innocent—you have very little knowledge of the world and you want to succeed—people with parasitic interests will see you as their prey." He even compared the scale of abuse taking place in Tinseltown to the crimes carried out by reviled British TV personality Jimmy Savile, who used his status to prey on as many as 500 victims before his death in 2011. However, Wood later backtracked on his controversial comments with a statement. "Let me be clear," he explained. "This subject of child abuse is an important one that should be discussed and properly investigated. But as I made absolutely clear…I have no first-hand experience or observation of the topic." Despite Wood's attempt to pour water on the fire he started, former child star and abuse survivor Corey Feldman backed up the claims, saying he personally "would love to name names" but has his hands tied by California's statute of limitations. He wanted to avoid typecasting When The Lord of the Rings came to its epic (if a little drawn-out) conclusion with 2004 Oscar juggernaut Return of the King, the face of the trilogy was in serious danger of typecasting. To make sure that didn't happen, Wood immediately sought out the most un-Frodo-like parts he could, playing a perverted technician in Michel Gondry's 2004 indie favorite Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind and a creepy cannibal in the 2005 adaptation of Frank Miller's Sin City. He even went on to play a brutal serial killer in the 2012 remake of Maniac, but even then, he couldn't escape the shadow of the Shire. "It's funny," Wood told The Guardian, "when Maniac was first announced all the references in the press were to Frodo, yet that was eight years ago! I've worked on a bunch of vastly different movies since then. I guess what it showed is that Frodo's never going away. The Lord of the Rings transcended the thing of simply being films. They've entered popular culture in an extreme and probably irreversible way." Of course, reprising the role in The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey probably did help matters any…but then again, it probably didn't hurt, either. He does lots of voice work One way to deal with typecasting is to take on roles that don't involve showing your face. While Wood's time in the public eye has seemed spotty over the years, he's actually been hard at work behind the scenes, providing voices for animated characters in everything from kids television to video games. He voiced the titular purple dragon in three consecutive The Legend of Spyro games between 2006 and 2008, and more recently, he's popped up in the "gorgeous, impeccably written adventure" Broken Age, a role he reprised for a segment at the 2014 Game Awards. Of course, Wood's most recognizable voice role is that of Mumble, the penguin protagonist of the box office smash Happy Feet. In 2009, he played the eponymous rag doll in Shane Acker's animated sci-flick 9, and a few years later, he loaned his voice to the 2014 mini-series Over the Garden Wall. When discussing his role on that Cartoon Network mini-series, Wood eagerly admitted, "I love creative work and being part of a creative vision. It is world-building to a certain degree. It is a very gratifying experience." And as it turns out, 2014 was a very busy year for Wood, as he also got the chance to work on the English language dub of Hayao Miyazaki's The Wind Rises, the last film the legendary anime director made for Studio Ghibli before retiring in 2013. Unfortunately, Wood didn't get the lead role this time around, as that honor went to Joseph Gordon-Levitt. Oh well, you can't win 'em all. He's a music man While most of us associate Elijah Wood with the movie business, the actor has actually been quite active in the music industry for a number of years. He even started his own label, Simian Records, in 2005, hoping to provide a home to talented bands from all genres. But he was first introduced to life in the recording studio by Viggo Mortensen, contributing to a song on the actor's 2003 collaboration with experimental guitarist Buckethead, Pandemonium From America. Titled "Half Fling" (a play on "halfling," a term used to describe hobbits), this bizarre track consists of a series of high pitched squeals and insults thrown back and forth between Wood and fellow Lord of the Rings alumni Dominic Monaghan. In the years since, Wood has become a respected DJ and has played his eclectic sets at venues worldwide, from glitzy Las Vegas functions to the alternative music hotspots of Europe and even the VIP clubs of India. "They're both extensions of creativity I think," Wood said when comparing DJing to acting, "but with records in some ways there's something just more purely, uniquely me that doesn't relate at all to the other world that I work in." His career behind the decks hasn't always gone smoothly, however. He constantly has to shoot down rumors that his name is DJ Frodo, and he's even had shows cut off 40 minutes in for refusing to play pop music. In other words, it seems like saving Middle-earth is actually easier than making it in the music world. He has his own production company Wood rekindled his childhood love for the horror genre working on 2012's Maniac, a low-key slasher that only managed to bring in $31,081 at the box office. Despite the poor numbers, Wood felt more films like Maniac deserved the chance of being made, and after some deliberation he decided to form his own production company: The Woodshed. "I've been a fan of horror and genre cinema in general since I was a child," Wood once said, "and have become increasingly passionate about the idea of there being a space in which horror films that take their subject matter and characters seriously could be produced." The Woodshed name didn't last very long, however. A Deadline exclusive soon revealed that the company was going through an overhaul and being rebranded as SpectreVision. A music division was added, and the logo was changed to something a little less creepy, though Wood continued to take his commitment to the horror genre seriously. He unearthed a gem of a filmmaker in Ana Lily Amirpour, an Iranian-American director whose debut feature A Girl Walks Home Alone at Night was released by SpectreVision in 2014 and went on to win widespread critical acclaim. Of course, Wood isn't afraid of grossing you out, either, as SpectreVision released The Greasy Strangler in 2016. Described as the year's "most disgusting movie," this definitely isn't a film you should check out on a full stomach. He might go into directing Getty Images Despite having his hands full with his ventures in the music industry, Wood still harbors dreams of one day becoming a director. His first experience behind the camera came in 2003 when fellow Lord of the Rings star Sean Astin asked him to get involved with The Long and Short of It, a short film they decided to shoot on a day off from Peter Jackson's trilogy. Wood came on board as first assistant director for the project, giving him a taste of directorial life. He then went on to direct the music video for "Energy" by The Apples in Stereo (the first band he signed to his Simian Records label), though he's yet to take charge of a feature film. "Directing is always something that I wanted to do," Wood admitted during an interview with Vimby. " I'd been working as an actor for 16 years…in some ways I feel like I've been going to film school for all that time. I've been so lucky to work with so many amazing directors on all kinds of different films, and I feel as though I've soaked all of that up like a sponge. I'm totally fascinated by every aspect of filmmaking." So fingers crossed Wood will make a movie someday soon. With his creative vision, we're sure whatever he ends up filming will be something truly unique. He spends a lot of time doing charity work Getty Images Wood dedicates a good chunk of his time to philanthropy, lending his name to a number of charitable causes. Liev Schreiber, who directed Wood in 2005's Everything Is Illuminated, described the actor as having a "sincere goodness as a human being," and this was highlighted by his work with LA-based The Art of Elysium. The actor was honored for helping the charity in their mission to engage hospitalized children in the arts, and he responded by telling reporters that being part of this "tirelessly dedicated family and the lives of the children they've transformed" has enriched his life. Wood later combined his music skills with his humanitarian efforts, pulling some strings to put together a charity album in aid of the non-profit. Called Elysium: A Benefit For The Art Of Elysium, the project included tracks from cult noise rockers Sonic Youth, lo-fi outfit The Kills, and a number of other credible indie acts. However, his Good Samaritan duties almost got him into trouble in Chile, where he found himself caught up in an earthquake. Wood was in the country to help stray animals left behind after an devastating quake hit the area, but when he was preparing to return to the States, a second tremor struck Santiago, reportedly shaking the city on the last day of the actor's visit. Fortunately for Wilfred fans everywhere, Wood made it out okay. He moved away from California Everybody knows Hollywood is the home of the stars, but Wood turned his back on the LA lifestyle in 2011 when he listed his Santa Monica home for sale at an asking price of $1.85 million. (That's $400,000 more than he reportedly paid fellow actor Dylan McDermott for the Spanish-inspired property back in 1999.) The house sold the next year, leaving Wood free to make his dream move to…Texas. The actor snapped up a million-dollar Victorian mansion within the city limits of Austin, near the hipster inhabited Bouldin Creek neighborhood. The actor later revealed that he left Hollywood in search of a more laid-back existence in a place where he could feel comfortable as an outsider. "That's the nice thing about Austin," Wood told IndieWire. "It's such a relaxed vibe. I feel like I've always been treated like a local there." Of course, Wood isn't the only celebrities who calls the Texas capital home. Sandra Bullock, Matthew McConaughey, and Willie Nelson all spend quite a bit of time in Austin, making the city something of Lone Star La La Land. He doesn't like American humor Recently, Elijah Wood appeared in BBC America's Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency, a remake of a British crime comedy series that got the ax after a single season in the UK. While promoting the show, Wood joined the debate about the not-so-subtle differences between comedy on both sides of the Atlantic, claiming British comedy is a much wittier brand of humor. "The British actors working on [The Lord of the Rings] spoon-fed me everything from The Day Today to Brass Eye to The Mighty Boosh," Wood told The Telegraph . "[British comedy] doesn't adhere to the same needs of American humor. It doesn't constantly require a laugh out of you. It's more sarcastic. There's more wit to it." It wasn't the first time Wood had taken a swipe at the state of American comedy. He spoke to another British publication about his series Wilfred (another remake, this time of an Australian show) and expressed frustration at how such shows are handled in the United States. "I always hoped [Wilfred] would be similar to a British comedy series," Wood told the Radio Times, "where it would tell a story and be done with it, as opposed to the typically American thing which is to beat something into the ground over and over. I'm not interested in that." So if you were ever hoping for an Elijah Wood-Will Ferrell buddy comedy, you should probably just let that dream die. What's next? Getty Images Well, as Wood rightly predicted when promoting Maniac in 2012, Frodo was never going to go away. It followed him into 2014's Cooties (he fought hard to have a hobbit joke removed but was ultimately overruled), and it will likely follow him for the rest of his career, though he seems to have found a safe space in genre films. His recent release, I Don't Feel at Home in This World Anymore, is already being heralded as one of the indies to watch in 2017, a film "buckling with distinctly American rage, splattery violence and plenty of dark laughs." Critical acclaim is unlikely to convince him to abandon his many other pursuits, however, and Wood's future will likely be as eclectic as his past. There are no signs of his DJ career slowing (he saw out 2016 touring Europe), and his movie production company continues to expand. He and his partners at SpectreVision recently formed a new branch called Company X, which will act as a parent to SpectreVision going forward and "produce a diverse array of projects with no limitations on genre or budget." So while he hasn't regained his Lord of the Rings heights, the man manages to keep himself busy with all sorts of interesting projects, and really, that's why we continue to love the guy so much. lijah Jordan Wood (born January 28, 1981) is an American actor, voice actor, film producer, and DJ. He portrayed Frodo Baggins in the Lord of the Rings film trilogy (2001–2003) and in The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey (2012).

At age seven, Wood began modeling in his hometown and took piano lessons.[7][8] In elementary school, he appeared in The Sound of Music and played the title character in The Wonderful Wizard of Oz. He also served as choir boy in a Marion Creative Council production of See How They Run. In 1989, his parents sold their delicatessen and the family–without his father–moved to Los Angeles for Wood to pursue an acting career. His parents divorced when he was 15.[9] Career 1988–1998: Early work Wood modeled and appeared in local commercials. He got his first break in the music video for Paula Abdul's "Forever Your Girl", directed by David Fincher. This was followed by a pivotal role in the made-for-TV film, Child in the Night, and a minor role in Back to the Future Part II. Nine-year-old Wood auditioned for a role in Kindergarten Cop, but was told by director Ivan Reitman that his performance was not believable, which Wood later said was "a harsh thing to say to a nine-year-old".[10] Playing Aidan Quinn's son in Avalon garnered professional attention for Wood; the film received widespread critical acclaim and was nominated for four Academy Awards. A small part in Richard Gere's Internal Affairs was followed by the role of a boy who brings estranged couple Melanie Griffith and Don Johnson back together in Paradise (1991). In 1992, Wood co-starred with Mel Gibson and Jamie Lee Curtis in Forever Young, and with Joseph Mazzello in Radio Flyer. In 1993, Wood played the title character in Disney's adaptation of Mark Twain's novel, The Adventures of Huck Finn, and co-starred with Macaulay Culkin in the psychological thriller The Good Son. The following year, he starred in The War, alongside Kevin Costner. Roger Ebert's review of the film praised Wood highly, stating that Wood "has emerged, I believe, as the most talented actor, in his age group, in Hollywood history".[11] Wood's title role–opposite Bruce Willis–in the Robert Reiner film North (1994) was followed by a Super Bowl commercial for Lay's "Wavy" potato chips (with Dan Quayle).[12] In 1995, Wood appeared in the music video for The Cranberries' "Ridiculous Thoughts", played the lead role in Flipper, and co-starred in Ang Lee's critically acclaimed The Ice Storm. In 1997, Wood played Jack "The Artful Dodger" Dawkins in a made-for-TV adaptation of Oliver Twist, alongside Richard Dreyfuss. The following year, he had a leading role in the sci-fi disaster film Deep Impact, and a starring role in The Faculty, directed by Robert Rodriguez. In 1999, Wood played a suburban white teenager who affects hip-hop lingo in James Toback's Black and White, and a junior hitman in Chain of Fools. 1999–2003: The Lord of the Rings Wood was cast as Frodo Baggins in The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring, the first installment of director Peter Jackson's adaptation of J. R. R. Tolkien's multi-volume novel. This gave Wood top billing as Baggins, alongside a cast that included Ian McKellen, Liv Tyler, Orlando Bloom, Cate Blanchett, Christopher Lee, Sean Bean, Sean Astin, Billy Boyd, Dominic Monaghan, Viggo Mortensen, and John Rhys-Davies. The Lord of the Rings trilogy was filmed in New Zealand, in a process taking more than one year for principal photography alone, with pick-up shots occurring annually for the next four years. Before the cast left the country, Jackson gave Wood two gifts: one of the One Ring props used on the set and Sting, Frodo's sword. He was also given a pair of prosthetic "hobbit feet" of the type worn during filming. Fellowship was released in 2001 and went on to gross more than $870 million at the worldwide box office. In 2002, Wood lent his voice to the DTV release of The Adventures of Tom Thumb and Thumbelina. Later that year, the second part of Peter Jackson's trilogy was released, titled The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers. The film grossed $926 million at the worldwide box office. In 2003, Wood starred in the DTV film All I Want and also camoed as 'The Guy' in Spy Kids 3-D: Game Over. The concluding chapter of the Rings trilogy, The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King was unveiled that December, and grossed in excess of $1.1 billion at the worldwide box office. At the 76th Academy Awards, the film received all 11 Academy Awards for which it was nominated, therefore holding the record for highest Oscar sweep. 2004–present Wood in February 2006 Wood's first role following his Lord of the Rings success was in Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind (2004), in which he played Patrick, an unscrupulous lab technician who pursues Kate Winslet. The film received the Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay in 2005. He next played the serial killer Kevin in Robert Rodriguez's adaptation of Frank Miller's comic book series, Sin City (2005). On May 12, 2005, Wood hosted MTV Presents: The Next Generation Xbox Revealed for the launch of the Xbox 360 games console.[13] In Everything Is Illuminated (2005), Wood starred as a young Jewish-American man on a quest to find the woman who saved his grandfather during World War II. It was based on the novel of the same name by Jonathan Safran Foer. In Green Street (also 2005), he played an American college student who joins a violent British football firm. Both had limited release but were critically acclaimed. Wood shot a small part in Paris, je t'aime (2006), which consists of 18 five-minute sections, each directed by a different director. Wood's section, called "Quartier de la Madeleine", was directed by Vincenzo Natali. The film played at the Cannes Film Festival and the Toronto International Film Festival.[14] In George Miller's animated musical Happy Feet (2006), Wood provided the voice of Mumble, a penguin who can tap dance, but not sing.[15] Happy Feet grossed over $380 million worldwide, and received both the Academy Award for Best Animated Feature and the BAFTA Award for Best Animated Film. Wood reprised his role for the film's sequel, Happy Feet Two (2011). Also in 2006, he was part of the ensemble cast of Emilio Estevez's drama Bobby, a fictionalized account of the hours leading up to the June 5, 1968, shooting of U.S. Senator Robert F. Kennedy. In the film, Wood marries Lindsay Lohan's character in order to avoid being drafted for the Vietnam War.[16] Bobby screened in competition at the Venice Film Festival. Wood—along with his co-stars—received a nomination for the Screen Actors Guild Award for Outstanding Performance by a Cast in a Motion Picture. Later that year, Wood hosted the television special Saving a Species: The Great Penguin Rescue for Discovery Kids;[17] he received a nomination for the Daytime Emmy Award for Outstanding Performer in Children's Programming.[18] That same year, it was announced that Wood was set to star in The Passenger, a biographical film about singer Iggy Pop.[19] However, the project failed to come to fruition after years in development.[20] On January 4, 2007, Wood joined Screen Actors Guild president Alan Rosenberg in a live telecast to announce the nominees for the 13th Annual Screen Actors Guild Awards.[21] Later that year, he starred in Day Zero, a drama about conscription in the United States, which had its debut at the Tribeca Film Festival.[22] In The Oxford Murders (2008), a film adaptation of the novel of the same name by Guillermo Martínez, Wood played a graduate student who investigates a series of bizarre, mathematically-based murders in Oxford.[23] The following year, he voiced the lead in the animated feature film 9,[24] which was produced by Tim Burton. Wood at the 2011 San Diego Comic-Con promoting Wilfred Wood's first starring television role came in the FX series, Wilfred, where he played Ryan Newman. The pilot was shot in the summer of 2010,[25] and the series lasted four seasons, with the final episode airing in the U.S. on August 13, 2014. For his role, Wood received a nomination for the Satellite Award for Best Actor – Television Series Musical or Comedy in 2011. In January 2011, it was confirmed that Wood had signed on to reprise the role of Frodo Baggins in The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey, the first film of the Hobbit trilogy, directed again by Peter Jackson.[26] The film was released the following year and grossed over $1 billion at the worldwide box office.[27] Also in 2011, Wood featured in the Beastie Boys' music video for "Make Some Noise", along with Seth Rogen and Danny McBride. He then starred in the Flying Lotus music video "Tiny Tortures," where he played a recent amputee coming to grips with his new situation. The psychedelic video was described as "menacing and magical".[28] In 2012, Wood had a supporting role in the romantic comedy Celeste and Jesse Forever, and starred in the horror film Maniac, for which he received the Fangoria Chainsaw Award for Best Actor. In 2013, Wood played the leading role in the Hitchcockian suspense thriller Grand Piano. Next he provided the voice of main character Wirt in Cartoon Network's animated miniseries Over the Garden Wall.[29] The series collected three Primetime Emmy Awards in 2015, including Outstanding Animated Program.[30] This was followed by prominent roles in films The Last Witch Hunter (2015), opposite Vin Diesel; The Trust (2016), opposite Nicolas Cage; and I Don't Feel at Home in This World Anymore (2017), opposite Melanie Lynskey. The latter film was awarded the U.S. Dramatic Grand Jury Prize at Sundance in January 2017.[31] From 2016–2017, Wood co-starred with Samuel Barnett as Todd Brotzman in the BBC America series Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency. It was announced in December 2017 that the show had not been renewed for a third season.[32] Other work Wood DJ'ing at the box.com launch party in New York in 2012 Elijah Wood appears in The Cranberries music video "Ridiculous Thoughts" and in Danko Jones' three-piece series : "Full Of Regret", "Had Enough", "I Think Bad Thoughts".[33][34] He also appears in Beastie Boys music video "Make Some Noise".[35] In 2005, Wood started his own record label called Simian Records. On September 19, 2006, Wood announced that Simian had signed The Apples in Stereo as their first band, with their new album New Magnetic Wonder released in February 2007.[36] In addition, he also directed the music video for "Energy".[37] Wood has also provided voiceovers for video games, including the voice of Spyro the Dragon in the Legend of Spyro game trilogy,[38] as well as reprising Mumble in the game version of Happy Feet.[39] On April 11, 2008, Wood was the guest host of Channel 4's Friday Night Project. On April 25, 2009, Wood was honored with the Midnight Award by the San Francisco International Film Festival as an American actor who "has made outstanding contributions to independent and Hollywood cinema, and who brings striking intelligence, exemplary talent and extraordinary depth of character to his roles".[40] In addition to producing and acting, Wood has become a well-known disc jockey. Together with his friend Zach Cowie, they formed Wooden Wisdom and have toured around the world. They have spun at events such as the Bushmills Live 2012 festival at the Old Bushmills Distillery, the opening of the Brickell City Centre and at the pre-Emmy party at The London West Hollywood hotel.[41][42] Wood signed up to co-produce and also star in the film Black Wings Has My Angel, based on the noir novel of the same name, with Anthony Moody and Rob Malkani of Indalo Productions. Wood, alongside Tom Hiddleston and Anna Paquin, was set start shooting in late 2012, but the production of the movie was delayed.[43] In 2010, Wood, together with Daniel Noah and Josh C. Waller, founded The Woodshed, a production company that promotes horror films. In 2013, the company was re-branded as SpectreVision.[44] Wood voiced Shay, one of two main characters in the adventure game Broken Age, for which he received the 2014 Performance in a Comedy, Lead award from National Academy of Video Game Trade Reviewers (NAVGTR).[45] Charity work Wood in his visit to Curepto, Chile, with the First Lady Cecilia Morel (2010). On April 23, 2010, in a charitable gesture, Wood visited the town of Curepto, Chile, one of the hardest hit by the 8.8 magnitude earthquake that struck Chile on February 27, 2010. He made personal visits to many of the victims and was accompanied by the First Lady of Chile, Cecilia Morel.[46][47] Personal life Wood has a tattoo of the number nine written in the Sindarin language, which uses the Tengwar script, and in the English language (rather than Quenya as is widely believed), below his waist on the right side. It refers to his character as one of the Fellowship of the Ring. The other actors of "The Fellowship" got the same tattoo, with the exception of John Rhys-Davies, whose stunt double got the tattoo instead.[48] In May 2006, Autograph Collector Magazine published its list of 10 Best & 10 Worst Hollywood Autograph Signers; Wood was ranked #7 of Best Signers.[49] Wood was an active supporter of Bernie Sanders during the 2016 presidential election.[50] In 2016, Wood discussed his belief that organized child sexual abuse happens in the Hollywood film industry.[51] A year after Wood's comments, The New York Times broke the story of sexual assault allegations against Harvey Weinstein, leading to the Weinstein effect phenomenon and the #MeToo campaign.[52][53][54] Deep Impact is a 1998 American science-fiction disaster film[3] directed by Mimi Leder, written by Bruce Joel Rubin and Michael Tolkin, and starring Robert Duvall, Téa Leoni, Elijah Wood, Vanessa Redgrave, Maximilian Schell, and Morgan Freeman. Steven Spielberg served as an executive producer of this film. It was released by Paramount Pictures in North America and by DreamWorks Pictures internationally on May 8, 1998. The film depicts the attempts to prepare for and destroy a 7-mile (11 km) wide comet set to collide with Earth and cause a mass extinction. Deep Impact was released in the same summer as a similarly themed film, Armageddon, which fared better at the box office, while astronomers described Deep Impact as being more scientifically accurate.[4][5] Both films were similarly received by critics, with Armageddon scoring 39% and Deep Impact scoring 44% on Rotten Tomatoes, with Deep Impact grossing over $349 million worldwide on an $80 million production budget. It was the final film by cinematographer Dietrich Lohmann, who died before the film's release.[6] Contents 1 Plot 2 Cast 3 Production 4 Soundtrack 5 Reception 5.1 Box office 5.2 Critical reception 6 See also 7 References 8 External links Plot On May 10, 1998, teenage amateur astronomer Leo Biederman discovers an unusual object near the stars Mizar and Alcor at a star party. His teacher has Leo take a picture of the object that he then sends to astronomer Dr. Marcus Wolf. Wolf realizes that the object is a comet on a collision course with Earth. Unfortunately, Wolf dies in a car accident on his way to try to alert the authorities. One year later, MSNBC journalist Jenny Lerner investigates the sudden resignation of Secretary of the Treasury Alan Rittenhouse and his connection to "Ellie", supposedly a mistress. After interviewing Rittenhouse, she is taken by the FBI to see President Tom Beck. After this, she finds out that Ellie is really an acronym: "E.L.E." ("extinction-level event"). Due to Lerner's investigation, President Beck makes an announcement earlier than planned: the comet, that has been named Wolf-Biederman, is headed for Earth and it is 7 miles (11 km) long, large enough to cause a mass extinction, and possibly wipe out humanity. He also reveals that the United States and Russia have been constructing an Orion spacecraft called the Messiah in orbit that will transport a team, led by Mission Commander Oren Monash and including veteran astronaut Captain Spurgeon "Fish" Tanner, to the comet, hoping to alter its path with nuclear weapons. After landing on the comet, the crew rigs nuclear bombs beneath the surface, but are caught in outgassing explosions when sunlight heats up the comet. Monash is permanently blinded by unfiltered sunlight and suffers severe facial burns, while Dr. Gus Partenza is flung into space by an outflow of gas. When the bombs detonate, the ship is damaged by the blast and the team loses contact with Earth. President Beck announces that the bombs only split the comet into two smaller pieces, nicknamed "Biederman" (1.5 miles (2.4 km) long) and "Wolf" (6 miles (9.7 km) long), both still heading for Earth. Beck then imposes martial law and reveals that governments worldwide have been building underground shelters. The United States' shelter is in the limestone caves of Missouri. A lottery selects 800,000 Americans under age 50 to join 200,000 selected individuals, as well as a massive supply of food, populations of significant animals, and the seeds of plant species. Lerner and the Biederman family are chosen, but Leo's girlfriend Sarah Hotchner and her family are not. Leo marries Sarah to try to save her family but fails. Sarah refuses to leave without her parents. A last-ditch effort to deflect the comets with ICBMs fails. Biederman will strike the Atlantic Ocean off Cape Hatteras, generating megatsunamis of 3,500 ft (1,100 m) high. Wolf will hit western Canada, creating a huge cloud of dust and molten particles that will block out the Sun for two years, killing all life on the surface in only a matter of weeks. Leo returns home looking for Sarah, but her family has left for the Appalachian Mountains and are stuck in a massive traffic jam. Leo catches up to them on a motorcycle. Sarah's parents tell Leo to take Sarah and her baby brother to higher ground. Meanwhile, Lerner gives up her seat in the last evacuation helicopter to her friend Beth and Beth's young daughter. She joins her estranged father Jason at their family beach house, where they reconcile. Biederman hits the water, creating a megatsunami that destroys the Eastern Seaboard of the United States. Lerner, Jason, and Sarah's parents are among the thousands that are killed by the tsunami. Leo, Sarah, and her baby brother are able to reach the higher grounds of the Appalachian Mountains safely. Unable to safely attempt a second landing, the crew of Messiah decide to obliterate Wolf by undertaking a suicide mission. After they say goodbye to their loved ones by video conference, they fly directly into a large deep crevasse created by out-gassing, and use their remaining nuclear warheads to blow Wolf into smaller pieces that burn up harmlessly in Earth's atmosphere. After the waters recede, President Beck speaks to a large crowd at the US Capitol which is being rebuilt, encouraging them to remember and honor the heroes for their sacrifice.

Christopher Darga as Section Leader Production The origins of Deep Impact started in the late 1970s when producers Richard Zanuck and David Brown approached Paramount Studios proposing a remake of the 1951 film When Worlds Collide.[7] Although several screenplay drafts were completed, the producers were not completely happy with any of them and the project remained in "development hell" for many years. In the mid 1990s, they approached director Steven Spielberg, with whom they had made the 1975 blockbuster Jaws, to discuss their long-planned project.[7] However, Spielberg had already bought the film rights to the 1993 novel The Hammer of God by Arthur C. Clarke, which dealt with a similar theme of an asteroid on a collision course for Earth and humanity's attempts to prevent its own extinction. Spielberg planned to produce and direct The Hammer of God himself for his then-fledgling DreamWorks studio, but opted to merge the two projects with Zanuck and Brown, and they commissioned a screenplay for what would become Deep Impact.[7] In 1995, the forthcoming film was announced in industry publications as "Screenplay by Bruce Joel Rubin, based on the film When Worlds Collide and The Hammer of God by Arthur C Clarke"[8] though ultimately, following a subsequent redraft by Michael Tolkin, neither source work would be credited in the final film. Spielberg still planned to direct Deep Impact himself, but commitments to his 1997 film Amistad prevented him from doing so in time, particularly as Touchstone Pictures had just announced their own similarly-themed film Armageddon, also to be released in summer 1998.[7] Not wanting to wait, the producers opted to hire Mimi Leder to direct Deep Impact, with Spielberg acting as Executive Producer.[7] Although publicised as an adaptation of his novel both before and after the film's release,[9][10][11][12] Clarke was disgruntled about not being credited on the film.[13][14] Jenny Lerner, the character played by Téa Leoni, was originally intended to work for CNN. CNN rejected this because it would be "inappropriate". MSNBC agreed to be featured in the movie instead, seeing it as a way to gain exposure for the then newly created network.[15] Director Mimi Leder later explained that she would have liked to travel to other countries to incorporate additional perspectives, but due to a strict filming schedule and a low budget, the idea was scratched.[16] Visual effects supervisor Scott Farrar felt that coverage of worldwide events would have distracted and detracted from the main characters' stories.[16] A number of scientists worked as science consultants for the film including astronomers Gene Shoemaker, Carolyn Shoemaker, Josh Colwell and Chris Luchini, former astronaut David Walker, and the former Director of the NASA's Lyndon B. Johnson Space Center Gerry Griffin.[17] Soundtrack Deep Impact – Music from the Motion Picture Soundtrack album by James Horner Released May 5, 1998 Recorded 1997–1998 Genre Film score Length 77:12 Label Sony Classical James Horner chronology Titanic (1997) Deep Impact – Music from the Motion Picture (1998) The Mask of Zorro (1998) The music for the film was composed and conducted by James Horner. Reception Box office Deep Impact debuted at the North American box office with $41,000,000 in ticket sales. The movie grossed $140,000,000 in North America and an additional $209,000,000 worldwide for a total gross of $349,000,000. Despite competition in the summer of 1998 from the similar Armageddon, Deep Impact was still a box office hit and was the higher opener of the two.[2] Critical reception The film had a mixed critical reception. Based on 86 reviews collected by Rotten Tomatoes, 45% of critics enjoyed the film, with an average rating of 5.8/10. The website's critical consensus reads, "A tidal wave of melodrama sinks Deep Impact's chance at being the memorable disaster flick it aspires to be."[18] Metacritic gave a score of 40 out of 100 based on 20 reviews, indicating "mixed or average reviews".[19] Elvis Mitchell of The New York Times said that the film "has a more brooding, thoughtful tone than this genre usually calls for",[20] while Rita Kempley and Michael O'Sullivan of the Washington Post criticized what they saw as unemotional performances and a lack of tension.[21][22] At the 1998 Stinkers Bad Movie Awards, the film was nominated for Worst Supporting Actress for Leoni (lost to Lacey Chabert for Lost in Space) and Worst Screenplay For A Film Grossing More Than $100 Million (Using Hollywood Math) (lost to Godzilla).[23]
