‘Armageddon’ director Michael Bay says his 1998 film predicted a new NASA mission to divert asteroids: ‘I Told You So’
By .
A recent NASA mission to test new technology designed to hit terrestrial asteroids and divert them off course reminds people of a particular Bruce Willis movie with a similar plot – including the film’s director.
Michael Bay spearheaded the 1998 disaster film “Armageddon,” in which Willis leads a crew of deep-core drillers to insert an atomic bomb deep inside a Texas-sized asteroid to change its course so it does not destroy Earth.

On Thursday, November 25, Bay responded to news of the NASA mission.
“I told you so. But no one wanted to listen to me,” he wrote, joking that NASA’s DART rocket would cause something “BAYHEM” in outer space.
“Our plan was not far off,” Bay said TheWrap of how his film apparently predicted the future.
Thank God they do something because these things [asteroids], they are deadly. They come 24,000 miles an hour, if I remember correctly – it’s an air eruption to the ground. “
