According to The Sunday Times, Leonardo DiCaprio will work with Ridley Scott on the first ever film adaptation of Aldous Huxley's legendary novel, Brave New World. Though for years there had been much behind the scenes jousting over the property, Aldous Huxley's granddaughter says, “There is now nothing stopping this film.”

In the film, DiCaprio is expected to play John the Savage, who lives a natural life "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)."

Though there are no production or release dates to mention, The Sunday Times indicates that Universal will distribute the film, which, given Scott's visionary work on the similarly futuristic Blade Runner, should at the very least look the part.
