Age of The Nerd
HBO has unleashed the first full trailer for their upcoming original film Fahrenheit 451. The film stars Michael B. Jordan and Michael Shannon, and by the looks of the trailer, they both seem to be doing what they do best. Shannon brings the intensity, with Jordan as the guy we follow.
Fahrenheit 451 is based on a book that everyone was forced to read in middle school, written by Ray Bradbury. Personally, I feel like the trailer reveals a bit too much of the plot, but if you’re already hip-to-the story you’re not learning anything new.
Enjoy the full-length trailer:

Starring Michael B. Jordan and Michael Shannon, Fahrenheit 451 is based on Ray Bradbury’s classic novel. In a future where the media is an opiate, history is rewritten and “firemen” burn books, Jordan plays Montag, a young fireman who struggles with his role as law enforcer. Battling his mentor, fire captain Beatty, played by Shannon, he forsakes his world in an effort to regain his humanity.
Fahrenheit 451 looks great. The film is set to air on HBO May 19, 2018 and is directed by Ramin Bahrani and also stars Sofia Boutella (Atomic Blonde), Keir Dullea (2001: A Space Odyssey), Martin Donovan (Ant-Man) and Lilly Singh (Bad Moms). Jordan also served as executive producer on the project along with Sarah Green, Alan Gasmer, Peter Jaysen, and Bahrani.
Jordan is also set to star in Creed 2 which is said to be released in late 20
