Equals is an adaptation of the 1956 film 1984, which itself was based on George Orwell‘s classic novel about rebellion in a futuristic society.
And it’ll be a romance! One wonders whether they’ll put back in all the masochism porn.

Say what you like about the 1950s, but they had a remarkably sunny view of what a gritty, rubble-laden dystopia would look like.
This has the potential to be the worst book to film adaptation since Exit To Eden.
Of course it’s a romance! Winston loves Big Brother!
Didn’t Moe also post the trailer for the new “Pompei” movie that’s basically “Titanic with a volcano”?
Face Rats! Face Rats! Do it to Obama’s Life of Julia, not to me!
