In Black Panther, Michael B. Jordan’s villainous Killmonger said he was going to “burn it all down.†Lucky for us, HBO’s Fahrenheit 451 lets him make good on that promise: “I want to burn,†he seethes. As Guy Montag, MBJ plays a dystopian fireman charged with burning all books. When Guy’s neighbor Clarisse McClellan (the ill-fated Dark Universe’s Sofia Boutella) opens his mind to the idea that books might actually be valuable, he starts questioning everything about his reality. Michael Shannon plays Beatty, the gung-ho fire chief who is suspicious of Guy’s new ideas. The Ray Bradbury adaptation is directed by Ramin Bahrani (99 Homes). See it this May.
