Intense New Trailer For HBO's Adaptation of FAHRENHEIT 451 with Michael B. Jordan and Michael Shannon
“We are not born equal, so we must be made equal by the fire."
A fantastic new teaser trailer has just been released for HBO's film adaptation of Ray Bradbury's 1953 dystopian novel Fahrenheit 451. The film is being directed by Ramin Bahrani (99 Homes) and it stars Michael B. Jordan (Black Panther, Creed) and Michael Shannon (The Shape of Water, Man of Steel).
This trailer offers us our first real footage from the movie and it looks like a great adaptation of the novel! I really liked what I saw in this trailer and I can't wait to watch the film. The story takes place in a future where the media is an opiate, history is rewritten and "firemen" burn books,
Jordan plays the character Montag, "a young fireman who forsakes his world and struggles to regain his humanity as he battles his mentor, fire captain Beatty", who is played by Shannon. Sofia Boutella (The Mummy, Kingsman: The Secret Service) also stars in the film as Clarisse, "an informant caught between the competing interests of Montag and Beatty."
The cast also includes Lilly Singh (Bad Moms) as Raven, "a tabloid reporter who works with the fire department to spread the ministry’s propaganda by broadcasting its book-burning raids to fans."
The film will be released in May on HBO. Watch the trailer and tell us what you think!
