It is set in the future. It’s not clear whether they will be stating a year specifically or not. IIRC in the original filming they did refer to a year 2016, but there has been a lot of talk online imploring the production staff to remove the year so it will not become stale as of that date. We’ll see on April 15th if the online fans had iny say in the movie or not, on that point.
I agree - if it’s in the present, keep it general w/o a year. Very interesting.
