Let's hope that Frank Darabont has a better take on the book in the upcoming Fahrenheit 451 remix... Probably they should remake 1984 also; not because it was a bad movie -- I found it very good actually -- but because nowadays it seems that the only way to get a message across in this publicity saturated world is through massive propaganda. Oh, and a Brave New World film would be nice too.
But I doubt it that the people want to see this type of movies; most already know the problems and know they can do something about it, but are highly unorganized and unable to focus on a common objective (unless that objective affects their physical survival). And with the american patriotic -- I would call it idiotic -- outrage, I question if the government would allow such movies (I wonder at what temperature the movies burn).

The true patriot is the first to question the government.
