The movie might not be a bad idea, if it remains faithful to the book, and most viewers understand that "A Brave New World" is where American society is curently heading.

But I doubt it. The movie will be distorted, or the media will play on the "powerful performance" of DiCrapio.

I'd like to think I'm wrong, but, (cynic that I am), I can imagine movie-goers leaving the theater and asking where they can purchase Soma.

I wonder how they are going to handle the eugenics aspects of the movie. If I recall correctly, (it’s been 20 years since I read the book) that was it’s primary thrust.

Although, like you, I think most movie-goers are going to be more enthralled with the sensualistic aspects of the story and ignore anything that smacks of the original message.

"Laura always wanted a film made of Brave New World, but the technology was not there to make it look convincing."

That's what Stanley Kubrick always thought of AI, then he saw Spielberg's Jurassic Park and knew it could be done. The rest is history. Too bad Spielberg directed.

Will it be PC like Ridley Scott’s film on the Crusades?

They'll have to fit in a car chase, lesbian sex, hip-hop brothers shooting guns sideways and, of course, a George Bush like character has the evil bureaucrat.
