There are few authors whose works are more unfilmable than Kurt Vonnegut. Just take a look at the evidence. But here we go again, this time an adaptation of his short story Harrison Bergeron.

2081 depicts a dystopian future in which, thanks to the 212th Amendment to the Constitution and the unceasing vigilance of the United States Handicapper General, everyone is finally equal… The strong wear weights, the beautiful wear masks and the intelligent wear earpieces that fire off loud noises to keep them from taking unfair advantage of their brains. It is a poetic tale of triumph and tragedy about a broken family, a brutal government, and an act of defiance that changes everything.

No release date yet, though I assume it’ll go direct-to-video.
