 ”MTV” Reports:

“Despite Hanks’ withdrawal, the director sounded like he’s as excited about the film as ever. “I see this movie so clearly in my head. It’s flowing in my veins,” he said. And just because you think of books first when you think “Fahrenheit 451,” don’t expect something akin to Jane Austen, Darabont promised. He explained, “One character in the script says, ‘It’s not really even about books. It’s about control.’ It’s about the control of government and authority. It’s one of the greatest books ever written. It’s got all that great political stuff underneath the skin of it but really what it is is a great galloping tale.”

Man I think that this really sucks. I was really looking forward to Tom Hanks in this film. I thought he would do a great job in the film. On the positive side of things I am glad to see that Frank Darabont is still very passionate about the project and in retrospect so what if the Tom Hanks is gone. Fahrenheit 451 is a fasinating story and as long as it is incredibly told it does not matter who is acting in it. And I am sure that Frank Darabont  will do a terrific job.- Movie Rat Mike
