Atlas Hoists A Film Camera?

Found at Joe's: the trailer for Atlas Shrugged. Holy cow, it looks like they're really doing it. I have to admit, I laughed out loud when I saw the release date. Oh, yeah. Hollywood: they don't all lean left, you know. From what I see in the trailer, some of 'em may've bent over backwards to do this one properly.

...Oh, and for those muttering, "...You could never do that entire book as one movies...," this is only Part One. Hey, it worked for The Lord Of The Rings, didn't it?

Some folks are gonna be finding out who John Galt might be, by and by.

OTOH, have you read of the production of We The Living under Mussolini?; February 12, 2011 at 7:47 PM

Bubblehead Les. said...: Looks good. Hope those actors got paid up front, though. Got a funny feeling that there won't be too many jobs offered to them when this hits the screen.; February 12, 2011 at 11:42 PM
Hat Trick said...: The release date should be April 18 for this year. The IRS moved it back three days to allow extra time because they had to revise and re-release the Schedule A form.; February 13, 2011 at 12:18 AM
Josh Kruschke said...: It's only part one so if it meets muster we realy need to suport this at the Boxoffice. To get the other two made.

That's the neat thing about movies; you can do more than one thing at a time.

I'd say: Establish the talk, then overlay suitable images... could be really powerful if done "Citizen Kane" style.; February 13, 2011 at 9:28 PM
Anonymous said...: I'm glad it's "based" on the book--if Rand had been able to write the script the movie would have 15 parts.
