Exclusive: Frank Darabont Talks Fahrenheit 451
By Kellvin Chavez on November 10, 2007
In an interview promoting his upcoming flick
"Stephen King's The Mist" Three-time Oscar®-nominee Frank Darabont told us a bit of an update on his dream project adaption of Ray Bradburry’s Fahrenheit 451. I remember I while back Darabont told us
“I think it’s the best script I’ve ever done. Now it’s a matter of trying to find a home for it and getting somebody to cough up the dough to make it. That’s always the challenge. Particularly with something that’s that politically charged as Fahrenheit 451.” Fahrenheit 451 takes place in an unspecified future time in a hedonistic and rabidly anti-intellectual America that has completely abandoned self-control and bans the reading of books. People are now only entertained by in-ear radio and an interactive form of television. The protagonist, Guy Montag, is a fireman, certain that his job—burning books, and the houses that hold them, and persecuting those who own them—is the right thing to do.
