A Behind the Scenes Look at the Special Effects of 'The Day After Tomorrow' Page #3

and their cars, and their exhaust...

...and they're polluting the atmosphere.

Excuse me, sir. We're really late.

We're almost there.

- We're only two blocks away.

- Lets walk.

What's gotten into them?

I have no idea.

They're all worked up today.

In 1532, Spanish conquistador

Francisco Pizarro...

...defeated this Incan emperor at the

Peruvian highland town of Cajamarca.

What is his name? Time.

Montezuma.

No, no, Montezuma was in Mexico,

not Peru.

It's, like, Anta-something.

- Atahualpa?

- That's it!

Time's up. Correct answers, please.

That's five points for Woodmont

and five points for Pinehurst Academy.

Next question.

In what year did Louis Quatorze

ascend to the throne of France?

This place is so retro, it might actually

be cool if it were on purpose.

Yeah, look at all these nerds.

Hey.

Hey.

You look beautiful.

Thanks. This place is incredible.

Do you believe this is their cafeteria?

You played a great first round.

So did you.

These are my teammates,

Sam and Brian.

- I'm Laura.

- Oh, I'm J.D.

- Your schools amazing.

- Would you like a tour?

Sure. That'd be great.

Could you hold this for a sec?

Yeah, sure.

Thanks.

Man, you got some serious competition.

Please.

- And I'll bet he's really rich too.

- Shut up.

- Who is it?

- Terry Rapson here.

Sorry to call you so early.

No, professor, it's all right.

What is it?

Well, we've found something extraordinary.

Extraordinary and disturbing, that is.

You recall what you said in New Delhi

about how polar melting...

- ...might disrupt the North Atlantic Current?

- Yes.

Well...

...I think it's happening.

What do you mean?

One of our NOMAD buoys registered

a 13-degree drop...

...in surface temperature.

I've sent you an e-mail.

Hold on.

At first we thought it was a malfunction.

But there are four more across

the North Atlantic showing the same thing.

This is unbelievable.

You predicted it would happen.

Yes, but not in our lifetime.

This is too fast.

There are no forecast models

remotely capable...

...of plotting this scenario, except yours.

My model is a reconstruction

of a prehistoric climate shift.

It's not a forecast model.

It's the closest thing we have.

Nothing like this has ever

happened before.

At least not in the last 10,000 years.

As I predicted yesterday, the swell

off Hurricane Noelani is incredible.

These waves are even bigger

than I imagined. Just take a look.

- Shouldn't you be monitoring the weather?

- This is L.A. What weather?

Wait. What's that noise?

What noise?

Honey, I'll be right back.
