If someone direct the movie of brave new world, who would you prefer to do it?
Aldous Huxly?
i meant a director...who has established a certain style
Quote from: Sigur RósAldous Huxly?
Yeah, but Aldous Huxly wrote the book rite?
Yeah, that's the guy. And if someone turned it into a movie, I'd like that someone to be me, because I love the book. But it's already been turned into a movie two or three times, all unseen by me.
I red the book it's great. It's shame Kubrick is dead that would have been cool! Maybe Crowe should do it......he seems to have a secret passion for sci-fi!
yeah, Crowe
the Coen Bros.
seriously.
i'd rather adapt huxley's 'island' its much groovier, and is one of the books where i get all the inside jokes. (thank you moksha and oliloqui)
Since Brave New World is a terrible, terrible book- moralistic and simple-minded and conservative in the worst way- I'd say give it to the Coen Bros. They'd find the crazed humor in it and make a movie that could not but be better than that wildly overrated book. Or Godard, if he would deign to do it. Someone not known for giving their "based upons" a literal interpretation.
I've never seen the film version of 1984, a much better novel... has anyone? What's the verdict? Doesn't seem anyone's too excited by it, but I haven't heard too many people hating it, either.
I haven't seen a 1984 adaptation, but I have seen a BNW that was fairly recent (with Leonard Nimoy). It was so terrible
so
so
terrible

Ah... thanks.
I didn't like a Brave New World. I think the major problem with it is that the world it depicts doesn't seem all that bad. :(
I liked to see a movie made from A Canticle for Leibowitz. It would kick ass if Scorcese did it. :(
