George Orwell's classic novel "1984" is set for a new feature adaptation from Imagine Entertainment.
Deadline is reporting the studio has tapped Noah Oppenheim to adapt the book, which was published in 1949. The new film will be produced by Brian Glazer, Julie Yorn and Rick Yorn.
The novel tells of a dystopian future in which Big Brother rules over the people of Oceania with an iron fish and an all-seeing eye. Winston Smith, whose job it is to rewrite history as needed, dreams of rebelling and discovers a way to do so when he falls in love.
Director Michael Radford adapted the novel for the 1984 feature film with John Hurt portraying Winston Smith. Gina Rosenblum, who was a producer on the original adaptation, will serve as executive producer here.
Oppenheim is currently working on the script for director Gary Ross' "The Secret Life of Houdini." He was also tapped last August to write the script for MGM's "War Games" remake.
