A landmark coIIaboration between writer H. G. WelIs (lsland of Lost Souls), producer AIexander Korda (The Thief of Bagdad), and designer and director WiIIiam Cameron Menzies (Gone with the Wind), Things to Come is a science fiction film Iike no other, a prescient political work that predicts a century of turmoiI and progress. Skipping through time, Things to Come bears witness to world war, dictatorship, disease, the rise of teIevision, and finally, utopia. Conceived, written, and overseen by WeIIs himseIf as an adaptation of his own work, this mega-budgeted production, the most ambitious ever from Korda's London Films, is a triumph of imagination and technicaI audacity. |
