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.
The Universal Studios movie, which Ridley Scott wants to direct, has become possible only because years of wrangling over the terms of Huxley's will have finally been settled, his granddaughter Tessa confirmed last week.
DiCaprio will play John the Savage, who lives a “natural” life on a reservation while the rest of cloned humanity is lulled into docility with sex, soma (drugs) and feelies (films that also involve the senses of smell and touch). He finally escapes celebrity to become a lighthouse keeper.
