Dystopian classic 1984 is getting another adaptation, with Bourne‘s Paul Greengrass serving as director.

Seeking to enlighten the masses, or possibly trying to make sure that kids never actually have to read another book in high school, Hollywood seems to be aiming to adapt every single literary classic for modern audiences.

The latest adaptation is George Orwell’s 1984, or Nineteen Eighty-Four depending on your edition.

The first version came out in 1954, and the most recent remake was released, fittingly, in 1984. It starred John Hurt, Richard Burton and Suzanna Hamilton, and was directed by Michael Radford.

Deadline reports that Paul Greengrass, director of the Bourne series and Captain Phillips, will helm the project. He has teamed up with Finding Neverland‘s James Graham, who will write the script.

This news aptly hits the day after the release of Mockingjay, Part 1. The final book in Suzanne Collins’ Hunger Games series has many parallels with Orwell’s classic, and in some scary ways, they both reflect society today.

The book, published in 1949, paints a grim picture of a future in which the world has been split into superstates. Our hero, Winston Smith, lives in Oceania, in what was formerly Great Britain.

The government is constantly working to limit people’s freedoms, particularly their freedom of expression. Language is being whittled down into “Newspeak,” with words like “doubleplusungood” and “duckspeak” (reminiscent of modern words like duckface and selfie, no?), and drones record your every move.

Winston works for the government, revising and censoring history books to fit the current party line. In the novel he meets a girl, Julia, and begins working for the rebel cause. But there’s no escaping Big Brother, the sinister entity that is always watching and judging your actions.

With powerful lines like “War is Peace. Freedom is Slavery. Ignorance is Strength,” and allegations to modern day society’s drone surveillance and government control, this movie has the opportunity to make a very powerful statement.

Or, it could just be another action thriller, losing the finer points of the story providing mindless entertainment for the masses. We’ll have to wait and see!
