So, who, ideally, ought to direct 1984?

[Idris2002]

Carol Reed, or failing that (as he's dead) Ken Loach. Or should I say 'Directed by Ken Loach' (a little in-joke for all the MATBers out there).

A Tim Burton directed 1984 will be a horrific abortion.

It would also have to be done by someone old enough to remember the Cold War and post-war austerity.
