HBO is adapting Ray Bradbury’s classic novel Fahrenheit 451 into a film. Set in a dystopian society where books are forbidden and burned, the story follows a “firefighter” named Guy Montag (played by Black Panther’s Michael B. Jordan), who begins to question the nature of his work, becoming more and more curious about the objects he’s obliged to set aflame.
Follow along for all of the updates, trailers, and commentary for the film, which airs May 19th.
