Imagine Entertainment Producing New Adaptation of Orwell’s 1984

28 March 2012 8:00 AM, PDT | ScifiMafia | See recent ScifiMafia news »

Way back in (surprise!) 1984, there was a Michael Radford (King Lear) directed big0screen adaptation of George Orwell‘s classic dystopian novel 1984, which starred John Hurt, Richard Burton and Suzanna Hamilton. Surprisingly, there hasn’t been an adaptation of the novel since then. That’s all about to change, thanks to Ron Howard and Brian Grazer‘s production company Imagine Entertainment.

THR reports that Imagine is teaming up with Julie Yorn‘s Lbi Entertainment to develop a new take on the classic novel. Imagine and street artist Shepard Fairey, best known for creating the Barack Obama “Hope” poster were simultaneously pursuing Orwell’s estate for the rights to 1984 and decided to pair up. Fairey will likely take on a producer role once the project is underway.

George Orwell's 1984 Being Adapted By Imagine Entertainment

22 March 2012 6:30 PM, PDT | GeekTyrant | See recent GeekTyrant news »

What do George Orwell, Shepard Fairey, and Imagine Entertainment have in common? Orwell's 1984 may be getting a new movie adaptation. Imagine Entertainment (Brian Grazer and Ron Howard) are teaming with Lbi Entertainment to develop the project. 

The classic tale is set in "a dystopian society in a perpetual state of war, which in turn leads to a state of paranoia. Propaganda, surveillance, mind control and cult of personality—all concepts seen in totalitarian and fascist states such as Nazi Germany and Stalin’s Soviet Union—were taken to new levels in the book, originally written in 1948 and published in 1949." The story centers on "a man named Winston Smith who works for a government branch named the Ministry of Truth, where he alters facts and histories but secretly harbors desires of rebellion (as well as desires of a forbidden love affair). The ideas in the novel became hugely influential in the worlds of politics and art, »

Orwell's Nineteen Eighty-Four forecast for Hollywood remake

22 March 2012 4:35 AM, PDT | The Guardian - Film News | See recent The Guardian - Film News news »

An American consortium that includes director Ron Howard is set to make a new film of George Orwell's highly influential novel

Hollywood is planning a new version of Nineteen Eighty-Four, George Orwell's classic dystopian science-fiction novel which warned of the dangers of totalitarian government and spawned the term Big Brother.

Set in a world where three warring superstates battle each other eternally without any hope of victory, Orwell's 1949 novel has already had two big-screen adaptations. The 1956 version, starring Edmond O'Brien, Michael Redgrave and Jan Sterling, changed the storyline radically from the source material and is these days hard to find, as it was withdrawn from circulation by Orwell's estate following the expiry of a distribution agreement. The best-known version is Michael Radford's critically acclaimed 1984 retelling, starring John Hurt as everyman Winston Smith, the restless party worker who dares to dream of independent thought and possible romance.
