 In the screenplay, or "treatment" that Wells published in 1935, before the film was released, the story ends in the year "A.D. 2054".Wells is sometimes incorrectly assumed to have had a degree of control over the project that was unprecedented for a screenwriter, and personally supervised nearly every aspect of the film.Posters and the main title bill the film as "H. G. Wells' Things to Come", with "an Alexander Korda production" appearing in smaller type.
