George Orwell’s groundbreaking novel 1984 is about to get a new movie make-over. Rumor has it that Imagine Entertainment, run by Ron Howard and Brian Grazer, is developing a new take on Orwell’s iconic, dystopian classic. And, too add the bizarre factor, apparently the street artist Shepard Fairey was instrumental in bringing the project to Imagine.

The seminal book has been adapted before for movies and television, including a powerful, if flawed, version starring John Hurt and Richard Burton.
