My current hypothesis is that them majority of their target market (like their CEO) weren't even born in 1973 when the original movie was released. Even if they've heard of the movie, I doubt they've seen it.
From a marketing perspective, it probably has very little impact either way.
- astrange 10y agoThe movie was based on a book where soylent wasn't made from people.
- WorldMaker 10y agoNo, that twist exists in the book, too. That twist is even spoiled in the book's title: "Make Room! Make Room!". Soylent Green is always people, book or movie. (It's a sci-fi exploration of Swift's "A Modest Proposal". It always has been.) (ETA: Yes, Soylent Red is not people. But the point of the book and movie is Soylent Green's "easy" solution to famine.)
