Dood's been trying to do it for a LOOOOONG time. He's finally getting the chance. Ridley will be directing, as well as producing, an adaptation of Brave New World for the big screen. Leonardo DiCaprio will also be producing, and potentially starring, in the project.
Before you start going "AH MAN, IT'S GONNA SUCK", let me remind folks of this: Ridley Scott directed Blade Runner. He's completely capable of taking on complex material like Brave New World. The real question is whether or not it will make for a compelling movie.
Personally, Brave New World works well as a book because it caters to the imagination very well. You are able to envision that world very well in your own mind, as one man's Hell is another man's Heaven, right? Therefore, the way I see the savage reservations or the World State is going to be different in some ways to how you see it. What happens when someone decides to create one vision of it with little interpretation outside of that?
What say you, O Giant Bomb forum commenters? Will Scott be able to do Brave New World some form of justice on the silver screen?
**EDIT** In case you didn't read ALL the way to the bottom...like I didn't do...it would appear that Ridley Scott also announced that he'll be directing...that's right...A PREQUEL TO ALIEN!!!
