10 Mouth-Watering Movies Stuck In Development Hell

6. Brave New World

A Brave New World is one of the most significant English language novels of the 20th century. It tells of a dystopian future where advancements in technology have had a negative impact on society and humanity in general. The book was written as a parody of optimistic utopian novels and dealt with such themes as the loss of identity in the modern world and many of its social predictions have proved prescient. Once again, Ridley Scott has long been attached to the project but recently has seemed to give up on the idea, saying that Brave New World should probably stay in book form. While Ridley Scott might not quite be the right director for an adaption of Brave New World, the novel wouldn't be impossible to adapt and many of the themes in the book still apply to the modern world.
