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”

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?
