Throughout human history, catastrophic events and social upheaval often cause people to question the future course of life on earth and to wonder what signs might point us toward the apocalypse. Nicolas Cage stars in the 2009 science fiction film KNOWING, which achieved box office success around the world for its artful depiction of the last moments of life on earth. Eschatology – the study of the end of the world – dates back centuries and informs so much religious and secular writing, it is easy to see why a cinematic depiction of earth’s last chapter would be fertile ground for our imagination.
Time Capsules
Formal discourse on the ultimate destiny of the world weaves its way into religious and philosophical writing and this fascination with man’s ultimate union with the Divine inspired novelist Ryne Douglas Pearson to pitch his movie idea to the producers of KNOWING at the start of 2001. The popular notion of time capsules is largely optimistic; a number of current objects are sealed inside a container that is buried in a marked location to be shared with future generations. Pearson wondered what might happen if a 1950s time capsule was found to contain a timeline of major disasters that ultimately led to the end of the world.

Movies about the end of the world have long been box office gold including Vincent Price in Last Man on Earth and Charleton Heston in The Omega Man. But in order for these films to succeed, Hollywood sends along other survivors if only to give the last man something to do. In films like The Quiet Earth (1981) and The World, The Flesh and The Devil (1959), we’re returned to the story of Adam and Eve to give the audience a glimmer of hope for the future. KNOWING upturns this apocalyptic scenario by providing Nicolas Cage with a female partner but killing her off in the final reel to set us up for the apocalypse.
