“In the book John has, from Shakespeare, this romantic and large sense of what life should be and that it’s very much about love and feelings and emotional things and depth. Even so, it seems that Ehrenreich’s experience making ‘Solo’ helped inform his performance on ‘Brave New World’.ĭuring a lengthy interview with Variety, Ehrenreich compared his take on John the Savage to the original version from the book, and he managed to make a connection to ‘Solo’ along the way. But poor reviews and overall ‘Star Wars’ fatigue led to that movie flaming out at the box office.
Ehrenreich plays John the Savage, an untamed man who lives in the Savage Land, an apocalyptic wasteland that lies outside of New London, a utopian wonderland where the drug Soma and a ban on “monogamy, privacy, money, family, and history itself,” lead hedonistic citizens to constantly enjoy “instant gratification and ubiquitous sex.” John’s arrival in New London draws fascination, and fear, as some view him as a threat to this lavish lifestyle.Įhrenreich had previously seemed to have found a Golden Ticket– the role of young Han Solo in Disney’s ‘Solo: A Star Wars Story’. Alden Ehrenreich fronts the cast of Peacock’s new series ‘Brave New World’ based on Aldous Huxley’s 1931 novel.
