One of the great Hollywood figures who has always surprised with his works, the director and producer Frank Darabont, expressed during these days his tireless desire to take to the cinema one of the literary classics of science fiction: Fahrenheit 451.
Darabont's obsession with filming Ray Bradbury's novel dates back 10 years, and now everything seems to happen so that the production starts in the next few years, because the script written by himself Darabont it's already finished a while ago.
Fahrenheit 451 is the next thing I'm trying to do, it depends on the casting, because it's one of those. I'm with someone right now, fingers crossed, because, boy, I want to make this movie, I'm not giving up. I'll die trying before I don't make this movie » stated emphatically the director at the ceremony of delivery of the Saturn Awards.
The American filmmaker too stressed the importance of getting started with the film as soon as possible, since you want to have the Bradbury endorsement: “I promised myself that we would at least go into production as long as Ray was with us. Not that I think it's coming out tomorrow, but Ray isn't getting any younger. So I have an emotional commitment to get the wheels and really get the movie going while he's here. ".
Fahrenheit 451 is an excellent novel that raises a world ruled by an authoritarian state that burns books to keep citizens under control. The French François Truffaut was animated to an adaptation in 1966. Hopefully we have the version of Darabont soon.
