Finally!Obama and company should have been reading Ayn Rand at Harvard instead of Saul Alinsky. Hopefully this movie--perhaps a trilogy of movies--will show others the ultimate effect of government-reliance instead of self-reliance.
I look forward to the movie and I hope it is well-produced. I can envision "Who Is John Galt?" bumper stickers and t-shirts all over the place. I only hope it is not too late.
Variety magazine reports:
The long-brewing feature version of author Ayn Rand's "Atlas Shrugged" has begun shooting in Los Angeles as a $5 million indie produced by John Aglialoro and Harmon Kaslow.To read the whole Variety article, click on the blog post title or copy and paste this: http://www.variety.com/article/VR1118020578.html?categoryid=2431&cs=1
Cameras began rolling over the weekend on a five-week shoot for "Atlas Shrugged Part One" with Paul Johansson directing from Brian Patrick O'Toole's script. Aglialoro would have lost the feature rights if the film wasn't in production by Saturday.
A spokesman for Aglialoro -- the CEO of exercise equipment producer Cybex -- said there will be at least one more "Atlas Shrugged" shot after the current film's completed. Rand's massive novel is divided into three parts, each consisting of 10 chapters.
"Atlas," published in 1957, takes place in a dystopian version of the U.S. in which society has collapsed as the government gains increasing control over industry. The decline occurs while the most productive citizens, led by John Galt, begin vanishing.
