Every movie I can think of that’s set in the future has a plot that hinges on some uninvented technology, fantastical aliens, or a post apocalyptic world. Is there just a simple love story or drama that takes place in a world with futuristic cities and advanced tech but the core of the plot wouldn’t change if it was shot to be today or in the past?
For example what if La La Land or Gone Girl was set in the future and didn’t change a single line of dialogue and scene for scene be exactly the same except for the setting and how the characters interact with the world. I understand that this isn’t really necessary and would increase the budget of a film but… it seems like that would be really cool and give them film an interesting and unique vibe.
