Why
‘Fahrenheit 451’ Is the Book for Our Social Media Age
[Kip
Currier: Looking forward to seeing this May 19th-debuting HBO adaptation of Ray
Bradbury's ever-timely Fahrenheit 451 cautionary intellectual freedom
tale, starring Michael B. Jordan as a
book-burning-fireman-turned-book-preserver.]
"Burning books in the film posed a legal challenge. The cover art of most
books is protected by copyright, and in most cases we were unable to
obtain permission to display it — let alone burn it on camera. So the
art directors for my film designed countless original book covers that
we could burn."
