2000s

    * The World Trade Center is seen in the opening of the TV-mini series the 10th Kingdom, (2000). The opening shows New York City crumbling into mountains, waterfalls and castles. The Empire State Building crumbles and turns into a mountain, the Plaza Hotel teraforms into a majestic Castle, and the Twin Towers are drawn into the ground as 7 World Trade Center disintegrates.
    * In the 2001 film Gypsy 83, Gypsy and Clive finally arrive in New York City, they see the Empire State Building and World Trade Center at night from the New Jersey Turnpike. At the final scene in the movie, Gypsy goes to visit her mother's grave in a cemetery in New Jersey, the towers and the rest of Lower Manhattan can be seen in the distance.
    * In the 2001 Steven Spielberg film Artificial Intelligence: A.I., the towers were shown standing in the year 2142 where global warming has flooded many cities including New York City. Then, they are seen again, in the year 4142, many years after humanity has ceased to exist, this time covered in glacial ice but were one of the few buildings standing above the ice. Less than three months after the release, the towers were destroyed in the September 11 terrorist attacks. Although risking controversy and criticism, Steven Spielberg left the towers in the DVD release.
    * Made - Released just a few weeks before the attacks, Jon Favreau walks outside with the Twin Towers in view near the end just before the bar shootout.
    * The 2002 TV movie It's a Very Merry Muppet Christmas Movie depicts Kermit the Frog travelling to an alternate universe in which he had never been born. With the guidance of his guardian angel Daniel (David Arquette), Kermit seeks out this world's Miss Piggy who lives alone and works as a telephone psychic. From her apartment window, the twin towers of the World Trade Center can be seen.
    * In the 2009 film Mao's last dancer the twin towers are clearly seen in a close up shot in a poster.
