Russian Scientists Drill Into Sealed Ancient Lake

This is cool and all -- drilling into 2-mile-thick ice to breach an Antarctic lake that's been sealed for millions of years -- but to me it also sounds like the perfect intro to a crazy action sci fi/fantasy/disaster movie involving some unspeakably horrific menace that those scientists inadvertently wake up.  Aforementioned gigantic menace will of course eat all the scientists and then begin to wreak bloody havoc everywhere until [insert action hero du jour here] must come riding to the rescue *insert Michael Bay-esque explosions and pounding music*. (Yes, I would totally go see this summer blockbuster.)
