HBO Adaptation of Fahrenheit 451

So the news has just been released that HBO is going to be making an adaptation of Fahrenheit 451!

Michael B. Jordan will be playing the protagonist, Guy Montag and Michael Shannon who will be playing Captain Beatty.

The release date is still unclear but it is projected to be some time in 2018.

Now I am slightly unsure as to how I feel about this. This book was really an important piece of literature for me when I was growing up. I mean the story itself is so easy to relate to today.

A recap: it’s essentially about a time when books were burned so that knowledge would not spread. Firefighters started fires to destroy all the books. It’s all about brain washing.

This adaptation could either be really good or really bad and so I’m just unsure if I will watch it. I may give it a chance, but once I see what the reviews say.

What are your opinions on it?
