Someone has begun compiling a timeline of all events in film, including those in future. (Via BoingBoing.)

Upcoming: “V for Vendetta”
Rebels battle a totalitarian state in near-future Britain in V for Vendetta, to be released March 17th.
A Confederate America
Alternate presents based on alternate pasts are outside the scope of Futuristmovies.com, strictly speaking, but I think CSA is worth mentioning, despite its reported defects.
It retells the story of the last 160 years, beginning with a Civil War in which it is
Grant who surrenders to Lee, allowing the South to rise permanently again and create a parallel America that at times deviates wildly from the historical record and, at other times, bears an uncomfortable resemblance to the world we know.
Ultraderivative?
Paying attention to context rather than detail, I thought the movie coming out on March 3rd was called “Ultraviolent”. Not quite. The promo material says that Ultraviolet is a
futuristic sci-fi adventure in which a new disease genetically modifies nearly an entire race of people, leaving them with enhanced speed, intelligence, and strength that makes them resemble vampires. Fear among uninfected humans leads to worldwide persecution, bringing the planet to the brink of war between the two “races.”
I take the mention of vampires as a bad sign. And we’ve seen this plot before: it sounds a lot like a combination of X-Men with Kill Bill. But, hey, it could turn out fine.
