No I'm pretty sure that was 8ball...

They should re-make 'Island' - although that's a very thinly disguised.......

Prescient filmmaking
Watch it.
I'm half way through it and quite enjoying it. Re-inforces the fact Leo would make a rubbish Bernard.

I said somewhere further back on the thread that the report i linked to from DS got it wrong. Other things i've read since then say he's playing John Savage, which is much more believable
Thom Yorke would make a good Bernard
Shame he's not an actor...

Glad you liked it
Think the pic you posted showed two levels of Epsilon...
Weren't the Deltas the overly happy curly haired ones?

I'd prefer him as Tomykins. Arogant, self important, dull. Leo would be just the ticket.

LOL
No chance of that though as i think he's got some connection with the Huxleys. Think i read he's go the rights to the film of the book or something, so he's not going to cast himself as the arrogant one of the piece...

Read the Doors of Perception years ago. Couldn't help chuckling about the slightly dated language in the book.

Wrong. Theır name was taken from Wıllıam Blake.
Gromit
International Man of Misery
Nope. From the book that got it's name from William Blake, Not direct from William Blake.
It's lıke Eyeless ın Gaza sayıng they got theır name from Huxley.

Ah haha! Sorry my brain trailed off.........a thinly diguised narrative on idealism and utopia. Not really much of a story, more his ideas on how things might be re-organised.

Quite like the Thomas Moore book in style. I liked Island's ideas, especially on the organisation of the family unit/children's custody.

Oh right, for a minute there I thought I'd missed something about that book that everybody else had spotted ages ago. Yeah, it's pretty much a succession of people walking around explaining to some outsider how great their society is; a tricky one to film I guess.
Still a good book though, some very interesting ideas and an all-too-realisitic ending

Was discussing BNW with a friend only the other day. If done well it could be profound for our times. If they throw money at it however I can't see it leaving a lasting impression.
Andrew Nicholls to do the screenplay. Shame he's not directing as well.

gaslit at scale.
It's not about the money thrown, it's about the money caught. Hopefully it'll be caught by good script writers, good actors, good artists etc, a good director (Ridley Scott?)
Mind you, it's too bad Kubric's dead.

It's Hollywood. Remember, they got Joaquim Phoenix to play Johnny Cash.

Actually it's a Utopia. Although it all depends what way you look at it. But 1984 it is not. Now that's dystopian and scary.

So many particulars. So many questions.
Brave New World is a dystopian nightmare dude. one with softer edges yes, but still a dystopia
