New Film Adaptation Of '1984' To Feature Big Brother As The Good Guy

HOLLYWOOD, CA — At a press conference this week, Sony producers announced the production of a new modern adaptation of George Orwell's dystopic novel 1984 that will feature the character of Big Brother as the good guy.

"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 film will feature a sympathetic Big Brother working with the state to better the lives of millions by implementing strict adherence to DEI policies, CRT teachings in schools, and CDC guidelines throughout society.

"After seeing how much people craved rules and control during the Covid pandemic, we decided it wouldn't accurately depict what society looks like right now to have a protagonist who goes against the state narrative," Maxwell commented. "I mean, we didn't have to do much with the script, we just used a bunch of Anthony Fauci quotes from the past few years and filled in the blanks. ‘I am the science'. Pure Big Brother gold!"

The film is set to release next year and will star Mark Ruffalo, with a supporting cast including George Takei and Susan Sarandon, and will be directed by Rob Reiner.

OK, this Bee headline almost fooled me. It's getting hard to tell the truth from satire these days.

Winston Smith will be the MOGA leader who is trying to foment an insurrection against the benevolent government.

One day he's a puppet of Eastasia and the next day he's collaborating with Eurasia.

How about a film with Jeffrey Dahmer being portrayed as a die hard vegetarian?

Winston Smith and any underground resistance group characters will be the only Whites and bad guys. Everyone else will be POCs. Big Brother will be played by the guy who played Black Panther.

You realize that the actor is dead? I liked the actor by the way.
