Everyone’s probably come across Fahrenheit 451 at some point in their lives. The novel presents a future American society where books are outlawed and “firemen” burn any that are found. After a film adaptation over 50 years ago, it’s about time that we get a new modern adaptation of the dystopian novel and what better place for it than HBO? This new version has quite the formidable cast with Michael B. Jordan, fresh off Black Panther, and the always solid Michael Shannon. I haven’t read the book or seen the 1966 version so this will definitely be something to look out for once it premieres on HBO sometime in May.
