While promoting her role in “Spider-Man Homecoming,” actress Laura Harrier has told Blackfilm.com that she has been cast in HBO’s film adaptation of “Fahrenheit 451.”
The Evanston, Illinois native joins a cast that includes Michael B. Jordan, Michael Shannon, “The Mummy” star Sofia Boutella, and YouTube personality Lilly Singh.
Based on Ray Bradbury’s classic novel of the same name, the show depicts a future where media is an opiate, history is outlawed, and “firemen” burn books. Jordan plays Montag, the young fireman who forsakes his world, battles his fire captain and mentor Beatty (Shannon), and struggles to regain his humanity.
Harrier will be playing Mildred “Millie” Montag, the wife to Jordan’s character, Montag.
In Sony’s “Spider-Man Homecoming,” which hits theaters on July 7th, Harrier is playing Liz, the love interest to Peter Parker (played by Tom Holland). Her previous acting credits include playing Destiny Evans in the short-lived reboot of the soap opera “One Life to Live,” and The Last Five Years. She also had a role in Steve McQueen‘s TV series “Codes of Conduct,” which was passed on by HBO last year.
Directed by Ramin Bahrani from a script he co-wrote with Amir Naderi, “Fahrenheit 451” is executive produced by Jordan through his Outlier Productions, Sarah Green of Brace Cove Productions, Alan Gasmer, Peter Jaysen, and Noruz Films’ Bahrani. David Coatsworth is a producer.
