Tom Hanks Drops Out of Frank Darabont?s Fahrenheit 451
2008-03-28 23:59:00 ?Sayonara, Bonfire of the Vanities!? Frank Darabont?s adaptation of the classic novel Fahrenheit 451 ranks right up there with Tarantino?s Inglorious Bastards, Fincher?s Rendezvous with Rama and Aronofsky?s take on Lone Wolf & Cub as an epic dream project that?s been discussed for ages. For nearly a year, Tom Hanks had been pegged for the 2009 film?s lead role of Guy Montag, a content fireman of the future who slowly realizes that his government occupation of burning books and oppressing book owners is nothing less than horrific. Unfortch(-unately, by reader request) Hanks is no longer attached to what would have been his second collabo(-ration, by reader request) with the director after 1999?s so-so The Green Mile, according to Darabont? "Mr. Hanks sadly and regretfully had to back out," Darabont told MTV. "I was really looking forward to working with him again but his other commitments just precluded it. He had to take a step back." Darabont remains confident in his long perc...

:::Fahrenheit 451 - Der Film:::
2008-03-25 13:21:00 Der Film Fahrenheit 451 wurde 1966 gedreht. Mir wurde der Film von meinem Onkel vor etwa fünf Jahren empfohlen, damals hab ich den Film wohl auch zum ersten Mal gesehen.

Fahrenheit 451
2007-10-17 22:11:00 The Rt Hon John Prescott has never been a scholar; there was no need for that and no one should hold that against him. However, before the Office of Deputy Prime Minister was created, in the period between 1997 and 2001, as Secretary of State for Transport and Regions, he decided to transform the DETR and its executive agencies (e.g. the MCA[1]), through the hands of his newly appointed managers and disciples, and in accordance with his vision. Installed in 1998, the new management of the MCA, promptly declared war on elitism – oh, that very notion the mere utterance of which would make John Prescott and his comrades go dizzy in the head – and set out to rejuvenate the Agency.It was then when the MCA was purged of many of the ‘old-fashioned’ elements, which, in Mr Prescott’s worldview, were not ‘business-friendly’ enough or sufficiently attached to the New Labour cultural ideals. Old-guard civil servants, ex-RN officers and veteran technical staff within the MCA were s...

New Fahrenheit 451 Movie On The Way
2007-08-11 20:17:00 Frank Darabont has written the screenplay and is set to direct the adaptation of Ray Bradbury's Fahrenheit 451. And the rumor posted over at AICN is that Darabont has chosen Tom Hanks to play Guy Montag, the fireman.This will be the second film adaption of Bradbury's story. The first was the 1966 François Truffaut film.For any Bradbury fan, this article on the misinterpretation of Fahrenheit 451 should be required reading. In it, Bradbury explains that it's not a story about censorship, but rather the dumbing down of society through television. And the parallels between the television "walls" in Fahrenheit and today's giant flat-panel TV's are interesting.

Fahrenheit 451
2007-05-29 18:22:00 Why should anyone buy Toast 7 Titanium if they're already using iLife '05 and/or Toast 6? A simple answer is problematical. However, after putting Roxio's latest iteration through its paces, I can't imagine not seeing Toast 7 taking pride of place in the Dock!Firstly, Toast now incorporates the DVD compression features showcased in Popcorn (presumably defunct). Copy and compress a 9GB dual-layer DVD to a standard 4.7GB recordable DVD disc. Avoid artefacts by extracting the movie, language and audio format of your choice only.A DivX Pro codec license is available out-of-the-box and interpolates with iMovie HD and Final Cut HD. The DivX format is reaching critical mass and DivX HD DVD players are all the rage. On the strength of this new feature alone, I'll be purchasing a DivX Certified DVD player and will post my experiences.Toast 7 Titanium?s video conversion doesn?t end with DivX, either. You can convert videos to versions suitable for playback on 3GPP-equipped cell phones an...
Fahrenheit 451
2007-05-15 18:57:00 I finished another one. This time, Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury. I'd been meaning to read this book for awhile, but I'd never gotten around to it until now. It's a fantastic book! And really powerful. It made me reconsider the amount of time I spend watching TV, it had me wondering if I really listen to the people I care about, it made me more aware of how little I am aware of current events. If ever a book made me really stop and think about my, then this book was it. It's set in a future where books are banned and no one thinks for themselves in order to achieve happiness. No one listens to what other people have to say, everyone's lives are very superficial and based around silly nonsensical TV programmes. Life is very fastpaced and surrounded by noise and chatter and materialism. The protaganist, Guy Montag is a fireman whose main responsibilites are to burn books and to burn the houses of people who still own books. He meets a strange girl who asks him unusual questions ... |
