Universal’s Dark Universe star Sofia Boutella is joining former Fantastic 4 star Michael B. Jordan and Michael Shannon in the new version of Fahrenheit 451 underway for HBO.

Shannon will be playing Beatty, the captain and mentor to Jordan’s Montag, a fireman in a world where their job is to burn books. Boutella will be Clarisse, an informant caught between Montag and Beatty.

Ramin Bahrani and Amir Naderi have penned the script based on Ray Bradbury’s classic novel, with Bahrani directing.
