FAHRENHEIT 451: Michael B. Jordan and Michael Shannon Shine in the Official Trailer

“We are not born equal. We must be made equal by the fire. And then we can be happy.”

Welcome to FAHRENHEIT 451, HBO’s adaptation of Ray Bradbury’s classic book. In the novel, America has outlawed books—and they’re actively burned/eliminated. While much of society goes along with it, fireman Montag (Michael B. Jordan) begins to doubt his orders. (Michael Shannon also stars in the film as Montag’s mentor, Beatty.)

Check out the official trailer for the film!

FAHRENHEIT 451, Premiere, Saturday, May 19, 8/7c, HBO
