Really looking forward to that, since I love the book and was always a bit disappointed by the Truffaut version (except for the final scene by the river when the snow begins falling).

Could that trailer have been any less informative?

i assumed it was vague deliberately as a tribute to the subject matter of the series

It's a dystopian story about books (and reading material in general) being banned. The title is a reference to the temperature needed to catch a book on fire. As I recall there are 'firemen' in the story who use fire as a weapon to destroy rather than having the job of putting fires out.

Did no one else read 1984?
And I doubt this gets made without modern politics injected into it. I can't wait to hear how Clinton/Trump order the burning of books...

Definitely some similarities. Equilibrium was goofy but fun. Probably qualifies as a guilty pleasure.
