The line gave its name to the J.M. Barrie play "Dear Brutus", and also gave its name to the best selling young adult novel "The Fault in Our Stars" by John Green and its film adaptation. The same line was quoted in Edward R. Murrow's epilogue of his famous 1954 "See It Now" documentary broadcast concerning Senator Joseph R. McCarthy. This speech and the line were recreated in the 2005 film "Good Night, and Good Luck". It was also quoted by George Clooney's character in the Coen brothers film "Intolerable Cruelty". The line "And therefore think him as a serpent's egg / Which hatch'd, would, as his kind grow mischievous; And kill him in the shell" spoken by Brutus in Act II, Scene 1, is referenced in the Dead Kennedys song "California Über Alles". The titles of Agatha Christie novel "Taken at the Flood", titled "There is a Tide" in its American edition, refer to an iconic line of Brutus: "There is a tide in the affairs of men, which, taken at the flood, leads on to fortune." (Act IV, Scene III). "Julius Caesar" has been adapted to a number of film productions, including:  Modern adaptions of the play have often made contemporary political references, with Caesar depicted as resembling a variety of political leaders, including Huey Long, Margaret Thatcher, and Tony Blair. Professor A. J. Hartley, the Robinson Chair of Shakespeare Studies at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte, states that this is a fairly "common trope" of "Julius Caesar" performances: "Throughout the 20th century and into the 21st, the rule has been to create a recognisable political world within the production. And often people in the title role itself look like or feel like somebody either in recent or current politics." A 2012 production of "Julius Caesar" by the Guthrie Theater and The Acting Company "presented Caesar in the guise of a black actor who was meant to suggest President Obama." This production was not particularly controversial. In 2017, however, a modern adaptation of the play at New York's Shakespeare in the Park (performed by The Public Theater) depicted Caesar with the likeness of President Donald Trump and thereby aroused ferocious controversy, drawing criticism by media outlets such as The Daily Caller and Breitbart and prompting corporate sponsors Bank of America and Delta Airlines to pull their financial support. The Public Theater stated that the message of the play is not pro-assassination and that the point is that "those who attempt to defend democracy by undemocratic means pay a terrible price and destroy the very thing they are fighting to save."
