Sleeper

Apparantly I missed the NYTimes Magazine story on freezing heads to live forever (aka Cryonics), but GetReligion blog has a summary.

It sort of sounded familiar, and then I remember this movie: Sleeper.


(youtube has excerpts HERE)
it's all there: Cryonics, being implanted with a computer chip (biometric identity), and, of course, cloning:
Miles and Luna successfully infiltrate the Aires Project: they learn that the Leader was killed by a rebel bomb ten months previously, and all that survives is his nose. The nose has been kept alive, and the members of the Aires Project, mistaking Miles and Luna for doctors, want them to clone the leader from this single remaining part. Instead, Miles steals the nose and "assassinates" it by squashing it under a steamroller.

Maybe not as funny as finding out J Edgar Hoover was a black woman, but a somewhat funny take on the "future as it was predicted"
