Terrific idea from Dan Meth to compile many of the most popular forward-looking movies and see what year they portray.
I think we should turn this map into a celebration schedule a la the Chinese Zodiac. According to which, this year would be the year of Freejack. Emilio Estevez would finally have his time to shine. And, as an added bonus, we could kick off another Rolling Stones worldwide tour to pay homage to Mick Jagger’s character.
A few notable omissions:
Gattaca – Takes place in the “not too distant” future from 1997, so we can probably assume it’s supposed to have happened already.
Death Race 2000– (Obviously takes place in 2000). If you haven’t caught this one, I highly recommend it. It actually features a pre-Rocky Sylvester Stallone.
Enemy Mine – This Mep favorite takes place in the early 21st century.
