This just makes me wonder how movies of the future will telegraph "2003". Blockbusters. Pay phones on the street. OutKast's Hey Ya. Giant iPods with the telltale white cords. Billboards for America Online. Centrist Democrat Senators wandering across the screen and saying "War in Iraq and Afghanistan sounds fine to me!"
I read somewhere that it was supposed to be set in the ‘90’s originally but they retconned it to 2003 (probably as late as they could do without worrying about smartphones and social media) in reshoots. No idea how accurate that is but it wouldn’t surprise me somehow.

when does this movie purport to take place?
Is it supposed to be 2003, based in what Scott mentions in the review? Is it obviously a “period piece”?
Yes. 2003. When there was a Blockbuster in Manhattan. That's about the extent of the film's period work, other than the pop soundtrack.

Is it the one on 57th and 8th? I rented Christopher Lambert’s Beowulf there!
ahhh I hadn't taken the timeline in the review literally, or done the math.
