Fahrenheit 451

6/25/09 – SCI FI Wire reported that writer/director Frank Darabont has been talking about adapting Ray Bradbury's Fahrenheit 451 for at least a decade.  Darabont said it's make-or-break time for the film.  "Fahrenheit is the thing I'm trying to get up next, which is casting-dependent, so it's one of those," Darabont said. "I'm out to somebody at the moment, fingers crossed, because, boy, do I want to make that movie. I'm not giving up. I'll die in the traces before I don't make that movie."  This actor is of a clout that could get a medium-budget sci-fi film made. "Yeah, it's not one of those movies that are vastly expensive by any contemporary standard, but money is still money, and it's of a price that requires somebody that will justify that investment," Darabont said. "This is definitely going to be more than The Mist, so those other considerations do come into play."
