THE CORE, the high-tech sci-fi thriller starring Aaron Eckhart and Hilary Swank about a team of geophysicists that travel to the earth's core to save the planet, bores its way to DVD on Sept. 9, 2003 (Paramount Home Entertainment, $29.99). There are plenty of digital vfx disasters to dazzle the eye, courtesy of Frantic Films, CREO, Fantasy II Film Effects and Rising Sun Pictures, and the work was recently highlighted at VES 2003: A Festival of Visual Effects. Greg McMurray and Bryan Hirota served as visual effects supervisors. The disc includes an informative "making-of" featurette, "To the Core and Back," director's commentary by Jon Amiel and 10 deleted/extended scenes.
