ID Badges and Arm/Disarm Keys from the new A&E: The Andromeda Strain - Found Item

[SurferGeek]

Was looking at some of the publicity and gallery images of the upcoming new release of The Andromeda Strain and noticed that the name tags / ID badges looked familiar. It appears that they are cast from a Motorola Razor phone. It looks like they mirrored the top portion to eliminate the hinge section.


Here's a section of one of the gallery images.

Here's a closeup.

Here's an example, not the exact same model.

Edit: Turns out that this is also the arming and disarm key for the nuke.

Well... it seems that this badge also turns out to be the key that arms/disarms the nuke under the complex! Sweet...

Also, the ePapers look like a possible cool replica.

Well, the movie turned out to be much less than I hoped for. Overall I was disappointed and felt it was a poor remake of a classic. Kind of lost interest in this... :confused
