New World Order

Ridley Scott is set to direct while Leonardo DiCaprio is set to produce (and star?) in another screen version of "Brave New World " says Risky Biz Blog.



The classic novel by Aldous Huxley, takes place in the 26th century in a world that has found harmony by controlling the birth rate. Five castes populate the world and everybody knows their place.

The main character in the story is Bernard. He is a member of a lower-caste. He is in love with Lenina. Things get complicated when "the leaders of the society find his behavior antisocial."

Leo and Scott made Body of Lies together last year...

Although Scott has not officially announced his next film, after finishing Robin Hood- he signed on to helm an Alien prequel last week...

Apocalypto writer Farhad Safinia will adapt the Brave screenplay.

I am being selfish but I hope Scott directs Alien 0 and Brave rather than choosing one over the other
