So I was just looking at some films that are in pre-production and Ridley Scott is creating the film for “Brave New World” (the GREAT novel by Aldous Huxley). I’m literally crying out of frustration and so pissed because that is my favorite story and I’ve always felt that either a film should never be made OR it should be made by an absolute genius who carried in and nurtured it in their soul. Instead, Leonardo DiCaprio’s agent came to Scott with it. He didn’t even know the story – which is why it’s so hard for his team to even begin to write a brilliant script right now. And of course Leo is going to play the lead. I don’t know how to feel right now.
If anyone knows the feeling of having something sacred robbed by Hollywood and feeling the fear of something so awesome potentially ruined; you understand where I’m coming from. Total hater status right now – I’m not even going to lie! 3/4s of my anger is because he beat me to it. hahahahahaha!
It wasn’t made on the scale that Scott has the capabilities of making it on though is the thing… but i’m going to take a hint from you two and calm down – hahahaha – fuckin tragic
I know David and that’s whats scary – it will totally be butchered in that case to appease puppets. It can go either way – two extremities: really epic or really fucking pathetic. I agree Deckard, I would rather it not be made at all. However, if it is going to be made, even though it will be a long while (thanks user de faux-fu yants & uli cain rewrote) I just hope it’s going to be a great enough film that will be challenging and as unapologetic as the novel and then maybe a shit-ton of people will really appreciate Huxley’s intent.
under the right circumstances anything would be great, for instance – remaking Phantasm…. that would have great potential if Coscarelli went with Takashi Miike and was HIGHLY involved, but then it could be a disaster as well. It’s hit or miss – it’s just a lack of originality in mainstream… they need to recreate or “put a spin” on things. I could actually see “Eyeless in Gaza” being made into a really great movie as wierd as that sounds – but these situations are extremely delicate and more than likely feelings will be annihilated.
I need to get my mind off this – so on that note.
Good Night.
Curious to see Spring Breakers, The Nymphomaniac, Sunlight Jr., and The Purge. And word on the web is David Lynch is up to something! And it’s not influenced by his transcendental meditation! Phew!!
