It was recently announced that HBO is currently working on a feature length adaptation of the modern classic Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury. We’ve already seen a trailer released for the film, and now HBO has released a new poster of the anticipated production.
Fahrenheit 451 is set in a future dystopia where books are outlawed and ‘firemen’ are in charge of burning books on mass. The story follows a loyal fireman named Guy Montag who’s convictions are challenged when he begins to wonder if what he’s doing is right.
The upcoming film is set to be directed by Ramin Bahrani and will star Michael B. Jordan (Creed, Black Panther) as protagonist Guy Montag and Michael Shannon (Boardwalk Empire, The Shape of Water) as Captain Beatty. The film is set to be released on HBO this month on May 19.
