The action in the novel takes place in XXVI mid-century (or in 632 Ford Era), when fully defeated poverty, formed a complete consumer society, and the people in childhood is divided into five castes – from primitive to advanced alphas epsilon able to perform only a primitive operation. Heroes of the book in this society do not fit that allows you to insert text Huxley arguments on the admissibility of such a direction of development of mankind. The novel came out in 1932 (or ’24 Era Ford), and in the mid-1950s, the writer again addressed this topic in the essay “Return to the Brave New World”, which has complained that humanity is moving towards invented their model of society too quickly .

The book filmed twice, and both times the NBC channel for television – in 1980 and 1998 (in this film starring Leonard Nimoy and Peter Gallagher). In 2009, Ridley Scott and Leonardo DiCaprio have announced that they are going to film “Brave New World”, but three years later, the project was shelved – Scott engaged in the development of the franchise “Alien” in the form of several of the “Prometheus” movie, and he was not to Huxley. But the multi picture for SyFy has offered to do the company of another famous director – Amblin Entertainment Steven Spielberg – but the script suggested it was rejected in favor of the work of Morrison and Taylor

Of course, development. pilot issue does not mean that “Brave new world” will certainly become “monumental telesobytiem”, as stated in 2015 SyFy President Dave Howe

this channel came out a few series in recent years, which promises to be such an event, for example teleadaptatsiya “12 monkeys”, a feature film by Terry Gilliam or “Magic” on the novel by Lev Grossman, but the work did not arouse that enthusiasm, which have been calculated. “The End of Childhood” by Arthur C. Clarke in general has become a three-part film, in which, apparently, this large-scale work has been closely. In addition, the development of “pilot” often ends in nothing: for example, this week the channel The CW announced that it would stop work on the TV version horror film “Friday the 13th” is just at the stage already finished the first episode of

. on the other hand, “12 monkeys” is now renewed for a third season, and “Magic” – the second, ie, the channel decided that their top allows you to continue the show

in addition, the film adaptation of “Brave new world” is placed in another trend of American television – an appeal to the literary heritage in search of new subjects. “Brave New World”, for example, is among the hundred best English-language novels of the XX century, compiled by publisher Modern Library, so the interest in it by Ridley Scott and Steven Spielberg is not accidental. Last year, the Amazon (which is from the online store has turned into a full video service with its own content) showed a ten “Man in the High Castle”, filmed by the same name and no less iconic than the book Huxley novel by science fiction writer Philip K. Dick. This episode, incidentally, is also renewed for a second season, in spite of the criticisms of the approach to the film adaptation.

Recently, it was announced the beginning of work on the show in a cycle of novels Roger Zelazny “Chronicles Amber “, although this is not a dystopia, but filmmakers unfairly bypassed the story commanded space princes of the Procedure attention.

The British once again filmed” War and peace “, and in fact TV men have only to persuade JK Rowling and access to the world of Harry Potter (as it was possible to make the theater) to grasp the immensity. But it is rather out of the realm of fantasy.
