Given the reminders that 2015 represents the year when Back to the Future II takes place, we should look at a few more upcoming movie temporal placements:
2015: Back to the Future II
2018: Rollerball
2019: Blade Runner
2022: Soylent Green
2027: Children of Men
2029: The Terminator
Most of these aren’t really good to think of, given that most don’t speak well of the future to come. However, don’t panic. After all, look which movie settings have passed:
Early 1950s: War of the Worlds
c. 1960: Fahrenheit 451
1977: The Omega Man
1984: 1984
1997: 12 Monkeys
1997: Escape from New York
2001: 2001: A Space Odyssey
2010: District 9
How much of this has happened? Oh wait. Some of it has…
