First Official Trailer for Fahrenheit 451 starring Michael B. Jordan #book2movie [trailer]

Michael B. Jordan & Michael Shannon star in Fahrenheit 451

My heart is actually beating just a little bit faster after watching Michael B. Jordan and Michael Shannon in the first trailer for HBO’s upcoming Fahrenheit 451 based on Ray Bradbury’s iconic dystopian novel. 

‘In a terrifying care-free future, a young man, Guy Montag, whose job as a fireman is to burn all books, questions his actions after meeting a young girl...and begins to rebel against society.

Jordan, who last burned up the screen as Killmonger in Black Panther, plays Montag, while Shannon is Captain Beatty.

“I want to know why we burn,” Montag says to which Beatty responds, “We were not born equal. We must be made equal by the fire… and then we can be happy.”

Knowledge is a dangerous thing. 

I haven’t read the book since, um, high school! 

I have time to reread the novel? Should I?
