‘Brave New World’
Peacock’s Brave New World is a crazy sexy fun adaptation of Aldous Huxley’s famous dystopian novel. Alden Ehrenreich stars as John, a sensitive young man who has grown up among degradation in the so-called Savage Lands. While people can marry whom they choose, have children, and follow their baser impulses here, the engineered society of New London is the complete opposite. In New London, children are genetically engineered and destined to live life according to their caste designations. When John the Savage meets New London elites Bernard Marx (Harry Lloyd) and Lenina Crowne (Jessica Brown Findlay), his life changes forever. Able to return with them to New London because of his bloodline, John quickly rattles the calm stasis of their picture perfect world.
