Leonardo DiCaprio To Produce a New Utopian Series ISLAND

Leonardo DiCaprio and his Appian Way production company are teaming up with Good Company Films to develop a utopian series titled Island, which is based on Aldous Huxley’s 1962 novel of the same name.

The story follows a “cynical journalist shipwrecked on the fictional utopian island of Pala in the Indian Ocean. Originally tasked with exploiting Pala’s natural resources, he uncovers an independently developed society and embraces the people, their culture and traditions — including psychedelic adventures and alternative social structures. His experience alters the course of his mission.”

This certainly sounds like the kind of project that DiCaprio would jump into to be a part of. Island was the utopian counterpoint to Huxlay’s most famous book, the 1932 dystopian story, Brave New World. Island explores the “themes of freedom and the power of human potential.”

Does this sound like a series that you’d be interested in watching?
