The nightmarish dystopian concept of George Orwell’s iconic novel Nineteen Eighty-Four has become ingrained into popular culture since its publication in 1949. Going on to influence media and entertainment via television, movies, and books (even as recent as today’s release of THE HUNGER GAMES), 1984 is one of history’s most important works. Michael Radford directed the most memorable film version starring acting legends John Hurt and Richard Burton, and was released, not surprisingly, in 1984.
Now Imagine Entertainment looks to be putting plans into motion for another movie adaptation, by joining forces with LBI Entertainment. Also Shepard Fairey, the artist responsible for the Barack Obama ‘Hope’ poster, has been an important part of putting the the project together, and is expected to serve as a producer.
