new version?


Will there ever be a big budget version? I think with movies like minority report, a scanner darkly and the such, people would really get into this as a big movie. any thoughts??

reply

I would like to think they would do a Remake or a movie based off of the book. I think they generally do things like these like every 10 years or so depending on how different the movie is from the original. Maybe we will see a new version in 2008-2009.

Agreed, but the problem is with the genre. This is not a mystery (like Scanner Darkly), or a thriller (like Minority Report), or horror (like 1984 to an extent). It's a Shakespearean drama set in futuristic utopia/dystopia. How do you sell that to a studio? Try, and you'll get Michael Bay's The Island at best. Only if heavyweights like Spielberg or Clooney make a push for it, there'd be a chance for a modern film adaptation.
