Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaNostradamus predicted that a world war would begin at the river Borysthenes, which is the ancient name for the river Dneiper. The Dnieper is the river which divides the country of Ukraine. This is mentioned in the film in which the Blue Turbaned man will enter Europe to cause destruction.
- GoofsThe movie opens with a text that refers to "the preceding film" which should be at the end.
- Alternate versionsIn 1991, NBC Television broadcast a truncated version of "The Man Who Saw Tomorrow". The broadcast was hosted in video segments by Charlton Heston (eliminating or re-recording the bulk of Orson Welles's narration). The film was updated to include examination of verses which may relate to the famine situation in Ethiopia (1984-85), the recent earthquakes in California (1988-89), and Saddam Hussein (1990-91).
Featured review
Of course this documentary is now viewed with a certain amount of hilarity. However when it came out in 1980 it was received quite well. Chock full of stock footage from David L. Wolper past productions it tells the tale of the legendary Nostradamus and his predictions of the future. The tale of the three anti Christ make up a bulk of the film. The third (and yet still unknown) is the mysterious Blue Turbaned man from the middle east who will cry havoc and let slip the dogs of war in the 90's. The film is entertaining in it's own little way even though it is now obviously riddled with predictions that didn't happen. Then again who knows maybe the dates of the predictions are wrong. Orson Welles adds his special touch
