Hopefully it will be better quality than the usual SyFy fare. Huxley was a prophet.

What are the chances spielberg will twist it around to reflect his liberal viewpoint?

Huxley wasn’t warning of the Brave New World. He was celebrating its inevitable arrival.

The man was one of the most evil human beings of the 20th century.

No one makes worse movies or can ruin something classic like Spielberg.

Sad that the magazine has to explain the story to a generation of young schmucks who never read it.

The 1980s BBC version was very good, contrasting the raising of John the Savage with that of Bernard Marx, until they meet, at which point it follows the novel exactly.

I agree - Huxley was practically a prophet. We are heading for such a “Brave New World” - and like so many on “Soma” - the sheep are more than happy to ignore the ugly underbelly.

It’ll probably just be a series of sex-and-drugs scenes with no trace of the underlying themes.
