HBO has released the first official trailer of its upcoming television film, Fahrenheit 451, which stars Michael B. Jordan (the Black Panther star), along with Michael Shannon, Lilly Singh and Sophia Boutella (from last year’s The Mummy).
Directed by Ramin Bahrani, the film shows a future where books have been banned and burned. But then a fireman begins to read, secretly and discovers an underground rebellion committed to protect the literature.

The movie is scheduled for a release in May, at some point.
