When Leonardo DiCaprio was a boy, he used to play hide-and-seek in the overgrown gardens of a Hollywood Hills mansion that was owned by the family of the visionary English author Aldous Huxley.
Now, 30 years later, the star of Titanic and The Aviator is paying back the hospitality by putting his Hollywood muscle behind the first big-screen production of Brave New World, Huxley's most enduring novel.
