For director on this project I'd love to see Alfonso Cuaron. Children of Men should be on anybody's list of great dystopian films. But, if this film lands in Michael Bay's hands…I will jump off a very tall building.

For clarification, the opinion on "1984" is mine and not Joe's. Also — I guess I need to watch it again?

Echoing what Mark said, the 1984 version of the film is fantastic. Great mood, great performances, hugely influential cinematography by Roger Deakins. I wonder if many people who are dismissive of the film have even seen it.

Soderbergh. I know he's supposedly retiring (or taking a sabbatical or something) after he completes his currently slated films, but…. well, he's great so he should do it.

If Shepard Fairey is on-board, then you should be concerned considering what a talentless hack he is (unless you consider plagiarizing people's work, writing "OBEY" and putting a small stencil of Andre the Giant makes you a genius). Maybe Shepard Fairey will just copy the 1956 adaption that isn't in circulation anymore, he already famously copied one of the posters from the movie – why not just the whole movie?

"Less than memorable"? The Hurt-Burton version is well respected and seen as an excellent adaption. Something tells me it is this reboot that will be dreadful. Not every great movie was made after 2000; quite the opposite.
