there's going to be an Atlas Shrugged movie

[Lobotomy]

I'm not joking. (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0480239/)

[Ele'ill]

lol

Do you have any idea how much movie tickets cost these days?

[Blackscare]

That shit is gonna suuuuuuuuuck.



Just as a movie, it's going to suck. Atlas is waaaay too boring of a book to make into a compelling movie. Capital would make a better movie than this steaming pile.

[Hexen]

Well their also making a Bioshock movie...

Does it matter when it's going straight to DVD?

[Palingenisis]

Glenn Beck said that hunger was good for starting "entrepuenship" or however you spell it. Am I right in suspecting a deranged Protestant form of asecetism in working class support for libertarian crap in the USA?

[gorillafuck]

If that comes to theaters I guarantee I'm going to go see it.

[Revolution starts with U]

I'm glad there will be. I tried to read the book once, but that just made me want to tear my hair out... maybe a movie will be easier to get through :confused:

It would have to be a trilogy.

[#FF0000]

I can't wait until Part 2 comes out and it is literally three hours of monologue in a courtroom.

[Ocean Seal]

Well guys if we pirate it, then the creative people who made this movie will be discouraged from ever making a movie again, increasing the mind control power of the people by us, the Caliphate-Communist movement. See Ayn Rand, as revenge for selling the Che shirt on the free market, you now have the internet (which by the way Ayn, was developed through government R+D:cursing:), a sort of international working class commune: filled with a welfare check chock full of goodies such as education and entertainment. Hahah Ayn Rand, the internet makes the free market fail.

Capital was made in a Manga, speaking of which has that been translated into English yet?

They've been talking about making an Atlas Shrugged movie ever since the 70's. Never worked out. I doubt this one will.

If it does, well I found the book to be an interesting love story, with many interesting parts, considering it was writen in the 50's. I don't think there is nothing to fear from having these movies up, its not like people become objectivists by reading or watching that story. The story does make you rethink what you took for granted, and I find that a positive thing, it might make people more prone to political change, whatever its direction.

Of course, not all directions are preferable, but if you can't trust what people are going to think after watching a movie, how can you trust them running a society?

It would be a cinema thing if Brad Pitt had been on it.

Never heard the name of the actors, so I guess it's a direct-to-DVD. Who's the Director?

[gestalt]

At least the Fountainhead had Gary Cooper (reading the proverbial phone book) and was aesthetically pleasing thanks to King Vidor.

"Who is John Galt?" indeed.

Says Paul Johansson- and he's also playing as John Galt in the movie series. His credits shows he's been acting in various TV shows, only thing he's directed that I recognize is that teen thing "One Tree Hill" for the TV.

[DuracellBunny97]

I'll probably see it, I never could get through the book

[Lobotomy]

I read it a while ago and I remember actually thinking that if it were ever made into a movie, it would be so boring because the plot was so drawn-out.

[gestalt]

Plot?

[Bright Banana Beard]

I would probably sleep from watching it.

[Os Cangaceiros]

They should've made a movie out of Alongside Night instead. At least that terribly written "market fundamentalist" book had an interesting premise. Someone could probably make a good movie out of it.

[Bud Struggle]

Armin Shimerman--the Ferengi Quark from Deep Space 9 is in it.

That somehow makes alot of sense. ;)

[Rottenfruit]

I'm not joking. (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0480239/)

IS Glenn Beck Directing it?

[Wanted Man]

Wow, move on over LotR, move on Deathly Hallows...

[Havet]

So how come nobody posted the trailer?!?!

I'm quite disapointed its set out in today's world as opposed to the 40s/50s, as the story originally portrayed. But at least they're not gonna cram it all in one big movie, and instead will be split in 3 parts

[Princess Luna]

after watching the trailer my only reaction is --> :laugh:

Yes that's a very good thing because it means the film's conservative backers will lose even more money than they would otherwise on this turkey.
