It looks like Orwell's "1984" might be getting a new movie adaptation. They are in the very early stages, though, so everything may fall through. It was not long ago when there was a lot of buzz about Milton's "Paradise Lost" being made into a movie, and that project recently fell apart.
Personally, I like the last movie with John Hurt and Richard Burton and that hot chick, but I can easily imagine a better version, so that I feel expectant about a new movie. However, I am afraid that they will only do something hip and cool for the youngsters - think of the re-make of "Rollerball". But I am always willing to hold out hope for something more artful, something that really draws you in and holds you in awe.
I would hope that they also keep all the nudity that helped to set the last movie off. Nothing like a little girlie bush to keep the men awake and interested, especially Monk. However, I would bet they won't. Why lose audience with an R-rating, when you can skip the nudity and let the kiddies in the theater? Of course, if they do a fantastic, beautiful job on the movie, I won't mind losing the nudity, though I really do appreciate a little artfulness in my cinema.
In all seriousness, the story needs the sensuality and sexual passion, as it is a bleak story set in a grim world. We need a little fire of life and hope at its core, even as we know that that fire will be snuffed out at the end.
