In The Year 2889

In the Year 2889 (also known as Year 2889) is a 1967 American made-for-television horror science fiction film from American International Pictures about the aftermath of a future nuclear war.The film stars Paul Petersen, Quinn O’Hara, Charla Doherty, Neil Fletcher and Hugh Feagin. AIP commissioned low-budget cult film auteur Larry Buchanan to produce and direct this film as a color remake of Roger Corman’s 1956 film Day the World Ended.

Although not set in the year 2889, In the Year 2889’s title is borrowed from a short story of the same title by Jules Verne and his son, Michael Verne. (The film however did not follow the Jules Verne story at all.) The screenplay was written for Buchanan by Harold Hoffman.
