There is, of course the theme of the world stopping having children based on a flu outbreak, but watching it again my wife noticed something else.
The film was released in 2006, so obviously made prior to that, but the Theo character was wearing a sweatshirt with 'London 2012' olympics on it.
Obviously the first thought is that they would have known about the olympic schedule at the time, but considering the theme of the film and the satanic ritual that was the opening ceremony I thought it was worth a mention.

Another hidden element of the plot is that there is a virus yes, and according to the story it is that virus that seems to be blamed for the end of children, but mentioned is that the virus is followed by a mass vaccination. But the film does not mention the there being a link between the vaccine and the infertility. I think the main character also loses a young son ostensibly to the virus, but iirc, the son also had the vaccine too. Again, that link is not mentioned.
Again, iirc, the film seems to 100% ignore any implication the vaccine is to blame for the terrible outcomes. Like it was fully intended to obscure that idea.
Final thought on films like this: I wonder if making a film like this allows discussion of real plans like this under the cover of working out a movie script. I mean as a way to discuss things without ECHELON picking it up as a real plot, the discussions would be held at movie studios after the film has had pre-filming publicity, so it can all be dismissed by the NSA as just a movie thing, not a cabal plot, a real crime being planned.
I suppose movies, or anything else that kind of seems to predict the future, also might be connected to the ideas in both metaphysical/supernatural and also in some branches of actual physics thinking that everything is connected, that there is no true separateness when you go down to the basic structures of the universe. What is often tried to explain with the metaphor of ocean (or any larger mass of water) that what we see as separate entities are still only something like the waves of that ocean, all part of the same mass of water.
So, if there is an idea in the air, so to speak, not only the people who are actively planning something will become aware of it even if they manage to keep strict secrecy. It will get out there, and others, even some with no awareness or knowledge that it might be something factual, at least on the planning stages, might catch it. And then, in some way, use it. Perhaps especially fiction writers, and other types of creatives, whether their actual "canvas" in the end is going to be something like a movie script, a novel, short story, some sort of "performance" like those Olympics beginning ceremonies... now of course most times what they "pick up" is what has already been going on for a long while, but then sometimes in all types of fiction you can find something that eerily seems to predict something that only happened years, maybe decades later.
Now when that fictional "prediction" is something like the case of the short novel "The Wreck of the Titan, or Futility" by some small time author Morgan Robertson that reputedly hits uncannily close to what actually happened when Titanic sank 14 years before that real maritime disaster you can start to wonder if this Robertson was able to see the future or what?
Now, maybe he was, and somehow the sinking of Titanic was already a fixed event in our spacetime continuum, and the writer just somehow picked that up when he was thinking of a suitable plot for a novel.
The other alternative I can think of though is that perhaps, just perhaps, Titanic wasn't after all just random bad luck, but somehow a planned event - there are conspiracy theories about that - and that made it something that turned it into a fixed event in what was the future at the time the author was planning his novel.
Which of course then leaves again a couple of possibilities as to why the novel exists: the author has some sort of chain of connections to somebody who knew about the plans, or maybe at that stage speculations, concerning a ship that hadn't even been built yet, but did perhaps already exists as some sort of plans for a ship.
Maybe the "six degrees of separation" thing - he knew somebody who knew somebody who knew somebody etc until we get to "and that guy knew somebody - maybe not any of the actual movers and shakers, but somebody like one of their servants who had picked up enough to make some pretty accurate guesses of what they were planning, and talked about it to somebody else. And in the other end, some of those speculations ended up in the ears of the author, who, maybe with no idea whatsoever that what he had heard was just not idle talking then wrote his novel.
Or the novelist had a much more close connection to the people in the conspiracy and actually knew something himself.
The other goes back once again the more supernatural explanation, that because the ideas were there, the author just sort of "tuned" into that.
But whatever it is, it often looks like what becomes real later can be seen in fiction earlier. So, pay attention to especially things that seem to become repeatedly used in fiction, any type of fiction, at a time. They may predict, OR expose, something that is still only in its planning stages.
Enjoyable to speculate for sure, you can imagine some set-pieces, certain events, have a kind of inevitability, and they must be expressed in fiction or reality, and maybe doing them in fiction doesn't stop the reality being inevitable. Or maybe the bad guys get their plans from fiction they read earlier. On that subject, it's been shown that people favour colours they are currently wearing, or a poster at a bus stop shelter can influence their choices later that day. Everything is noted by everyone else all the time and perfectly remembered, it's just that you are only conscious of a subset based on the filtering arrangement we call your personality, as modified by recent stimuli, emotional state and a million other factors. So ideas exist then emerge if there are people willing to take them on. I sometimes get this with little inventions you might dream up, then you see it's already a product on amazon, it was inevitable (it's worse when you sit on something for years then you see it on a shelf, but whatever)
True.
BTW, one way to hide that type of conspiracies or plans where so many people are involved that leaks are pretty much inevitable might actually be to first get it out as some sort of fiction. Because that is bound to decrease what people are willing to believe when those leaks appear, as most will think the whistleblower is actually some sort of nut who read that novel or saw that movie etc and now just tries to get some sort of notoriety by claiming it is actually real.
The other way to make most people dismiss anything real happening is also of course trying to turn the whole thing into a joke. I presume UFOs/UAPs may have gotten that treatment - something real has been happening for a long time, but whoever or whatever (the cabal, some other parts of what have been our leaders/rulers) don't want that to become known for whatever reasons, maybe just because they themselves don't have any clue about what is going on there but don't want the sheep to know that, and so, because they haven't been able to do much else, have done all they can to make the whole thing look so ridiculous that nobody, or almost nobody, has been willing to take it seriously.
Like maybe hire or mislead people to act/think that they have had real contacts with some sort of space aliens, ala the 50s "contactees", or the more modern abductees, but either give them scripts or experiences that look/sound as outrageous or stupid as possible. Have those "space aliens" repeatedly give information, like near future catastrophes, that then of course never happen, and so on.
So for decades most people have now just treated any claims connected to UFOs as only something to make jokes about, or just dismiss it all with some sarcastic quip about "little green men, yeah, right".
I suspect that is true, or the whole "predictive programming" ritual is real. They clearly use "emergency response" planning and "military defense/national security" planning as safe optics with plausible deniability to scheme their plans.
This film was set in the UK which means the movie is set about 15 years after the games. Keep in mind that the Olympics were awarded to London in 2005, Likely before filming started on "Children of Men." They must have knew about the plans for the Opening Ceremony during the bid process which meant that Danny Boyle was told to produce the ceremony the way the Powers that be wanted it to be done. The only thing they didn't factor into the equation was Hillary losing the 2016 election.
Utopia, the TV series, was another near identical foreshadowing of the plandemic.
The original BBC series showed an engineered virus and the vaccine for the virus made all other races/bloodlines, except Romanian, sterile. Years later, the series was redone in the US, starring John Cusack. It was aired in 2019 and hit to closely to home and the 2nd season was cancelled due to it being too spot on with what was happening world-wide at the time.
Both series are well worth the watch.

Sort of like the Files reboot
The truth is out there.
On a side note, I met Jillian Anderson once and managed to piss her off. She came into my booth at an antique show and after answering questions about a rug she was looking at, I said, you look identical to Dana Scully, from the X-Files and she said, (in a really shitty voice inflection) do you mean, Jillian Anderson? I said, yeah her, and she turned in a huff and left my booth, needless to say I did not sell her that oriental rug that day.
It turns out she hates it when people do not recognize her for her but as her character on the show, I had no idea it was actually her until I saw the reaction.
Who expects to see a tv star/ actress at such a random event she should have expected it.
I was once sat opposite Vic Reeves on the London Underground and managed to piss him off (deliberately in my case, can't stand the bloke).
It was quite late so there was hardly anyone else on the train, and he was dressed very nicely, cashmir coat, cool looking walking cane etc. and I made totally sure I looked like I didn't recognise him and just ignored him, whilst still looking around the cabin.
I could tell he was getting more and more pissed off as time went by, especially when I got the impression he realised I probably did recognise him yet still ignored the shit out of him for about 15 minutes :)
Well, I found it funny.
There was a similar episode in Stargate SG-1 where aliens gave Earth the cure for all diseases. But the side effect was to make everyone sterile. Long term process to take over a planet without a struggle.
The Aschen
If memory serves, it takes place in the future.
It does, but that's still a deliberate choice of motif and based on the theme a bit of a coincidence.
And the dancing nurses. Dead babies. Hospital stretcher. It’s connected.
