This looks amazing...does anyone know anything about this movie? I'm wondering if it's even real, I can't find anything on IMDB or wikipedia about it. My girlfriend just stumbled upon this trailer yesterday.

For anyone who doesn't know, it's based on a Kurt Vonnegut short story called "Harrison Bergeron".

Could be interesting, but it doesn't look as good as for example Equilibrium.

Finally a movie that depicts an oppressive government that is progressive in nature and not conservative. I was worried people had stopped relating to books by authors like Huxley and Orwell.

I agree, I hope this is real, and any movie that promotes human exceptionalism is good in my book.

Brazil is the movie that made me love film. Such a fantastic movie. I love Gilliam. Even liked Tideland for what it was.
