From The Babylon Bee, George Orwell's 1984 updated for the (echo voice) MODERN...AUDIENCE:
From the article:
"We felt like it was time to update the story to fit a modern audience,"
Sony producer Glen Maxwell told reporters. "After seeing how censorship
and totalitarianism have grown in popularity over the past few years,
we think Big Brother is probably a better protagonist than Winston
Smith. Big Brother's insistence on absolute compliance fits better with
current progressive ideals."
The more I think about it, the more the idea of a story about some Hollywood filmmakers making this exact version of 1984 because they think that's what the people want to see sounds like a great parody. Now that's movie I'd watch.
