The following is an edited transcript of their conversation.Īmy Webb: We already had sort of the beginnings of smartphones.

Molly Wood asked her what the “Demolition Man” filmmakers were able to see coming 25 years ago. She also consults on future tech for movies and TV. Amy Webb is a futurist, professor of strategic foresight at New York University’s Stern School of Business and works with big organizations and companies on strategic planning. The movie included self-driving cars, video conferencing, voice-activated technology and even touch-screen tablets. And Sylvester Stallone is the old-school violent cop thawed out of cryostasis to hunt him down. Wesley Snipes is a supervillain on the loose. Sandra Bullock plays a rookie future cop. It portrays a utopian society with no crime or bad thoughts.

The movie “Demolition Man” is set in 2032. Labor Day is the perfect day for the last installment of our summer entertainment series.
