Film Adaptation Titled "Take Warning" Explores a Darker Thread in Moe Taylor’s Cinematic Cosmos, In Stark Contrast to His 2021 Flagship Film, "As Organism"
CLEVELAND, OH, UNITED STATES, July 12, 2025 /
EINPresswire.com/ --
BrainDagger Films has officially announced the screenplay adaptation of Moe Taylor's 2003 cult novel
The Viral Limit. The feature film, retitled Take Warning, is now in active development with a screenplay underway — marking a stark thematic pivot from the filmmaker’s more recent work. Taylor has tasked long-time colleague, Mike Ede (JACK'D, Bah Humbug, Adam and Me) as screenwriter.
Written by Moe Taylor during a time of profound internal conflict while serving overseas in the military, The Viral Limit is a psychological survival narrative cloaked in apocalyptic dread. The upcoming adaptation will preserve the novel’s original intensity while offering a cinematic exploration of how perception can turn the universe into either a savior… or a storm.
“In 2003, I saw the universe as something that wanted to kill me,” says Taylor. “By 2021, I saw it as something I was part of. This film revisits the moment before I understood that.”
🔹 A Journey from Warning to Wonder
The development of Take Warning follows Taylor’s 2021 documentary
As Organism, a critically praised meditation on cosmic harmony and interconnectedness. While As Organism offered audiences a path toward unity, Take Warning takes them down a darker road — one carved from paranoia, trauma, and the fear of collapse.
“It’s the inverse of As Organism,” Taylor explains. “This is the film I wrote before I healed. It’s about surviving a world that feels like it’s coming for you. And in that sense, it’s honest.”
Together, the two films form a metaphysical diptych — bookends to a 20-year transformation in the filmmaker’s worldview.
🔹 About the Story
In Take Warning, two mountain climbers are caught in a vicious storm that begins to take on a life of its own. As they fight to descend back to civilization, they discover that the clouds above are more than weather — they’re a force, a consciousness, maybe even a reckoning.
The film invites audiences to ask: What happens when the storm isn't just outside you, but inside you too?
