Sandra Bullock's character was also named Huxley, a nod to Brave New World's author. This also took place in a so-called utopian society in the future but featured more explosions and one-liners.
It also served as inspiration for 1993 action movie Demolition Man starring Sylvester Stallone and Wesley Snipes. It was also an incredibly influential book and was first adapted into a TV movie in 1980 starring Bud Cort ( Heat) as main character Bernard Marx. John turns out to be the son of the director of the cloning authority, which causes a scandal and makes John a celebrity freak. The novel takes place in a futuristic London where the population is controlled with a happiness pill called Soma, but the arrival of a "savage" outsider named John threatens the stability of this so-called utopia.īrave New World ranks alongside 1984 as one of the all-time great dystopian novels and offered a chilling look at how the world might evolve. Hannah John-Kamen has starred in some of the most successful TV series and movies made in recent years. Brave New World was published in 1932 and was written by Aldous Huxley. While Im reviewing one particular movie adaptation my comments probably. The novel is a classic dystopian look at the future of mankind, so why the Brave New World adaptation from 1998 decided to add a happy ending is anyone's guess. Brave New World is a TV movie based on the Aldous Huxley novel of the same name.
