First look at Demi Moore in sci-fi drama Brave New World – tracking sex-crazed society where monogamy is banned
UK Sun ^ | April 16, 2020 | Shannon Power

Brave New World is an adaptation of the classic Aldous Huxley novel and will broadcast on NBC's streaming service, Peacock which launched in the US this week.

The dystopian story is centred around the futuristic New London where people are sorted into an intelligence based hierachy. Demi, 57, plays Linda who moved from New London to an outlying reservation with her son John. Peace has been achieved in the seemingly utopian New London thanks to prohibiting monogamy, privacy, money, family, and history itself. Other cast members include Jessica Brown Findlay (Downton Abbey), Harry Lloyd (Game of Thrones), Alden Ehrenreich (Solo), and The Originals' Joseph Morgan.

That book is very relevant to Post-Modern societal trends.

The movie will be watered down and it will be Trumps fault...you watch.

I don’t know if those Hollywood liberals UNDERSTAND it enough to know that it is not an instruction manual.

The book, definitely. But Demi Moore? What kind of scraper does one use to get to the bottom of THAT barrel?

Peace has been achieved in the seemingly utopian New London thanks to prohibiting monogamy, privacy, money, family, and history itself.

Prohibiting privacy achieves peace? I'd have figured it would be the opposite.

Oh, well. Aldous Huxley and Demi Moore know best.

Go, go Globalism.

Does she date 18 year old boys in the movie?
After Kucher, she seems to be moving in that direction.

The BBC version is free on YouTube. It is very good.

People talk about “1984”, but “Brave New World” is closer to the path we are headed down.

If all they got out of that book was the sex-crazed part then they probably don’t understand it

For most of the book, that character is a very sorry and pathetic person. It is the mother of the lead character. Unless they change the book dramatically, it’s rather courageous of a former glamour type actress to take on that role.

.....thanks to prohibiting monogamy, privacy, money, family, and history itself.

So apparently COVID-19 has been defeated in this society....social distancing not required.

Aldous Huxley admitted it wasn’t a work of fiction, it was a blueprint.
