The producers of “Atlas Shrugged” have just posted via their Facebook Fan Page the date of the USA theatrical release date. To see the release date click on over.
After nearly two decades of false starts, rights owner John Aglialoro greenlighted production on “Atlas Shrugged” (Part one of three) in June 2010 and is reporting that the picture is in the final stages of post-production and is slated to be completely finished by the end of January 2011.
The picture stars a cast of fresh, young actors including — photographed above — Taylor Schilling (Dagny Taggart) and Grant Bowler (Henry Rearden) who, along with Matthew Marsden, Graham Beckel and Edi Gathegi round out the lead stars in the motion picture directed by Paul Johansson from a screenplay by Brian O’Toole and Aglialoro. Harmon Kaslow and Aglialoro produced the motion picture.

Can’t wait. Stop the Lame Duck Quack Attack!
Bonfire of the Vanities was an anti-political correctness book and the movie was trash.
Maybe the same thing could have been said about The Godfather (1972). I don't know. But, I don't think this is an encouraging sign. I wonder what the budget is.
From the picture it looks modern day-ugh.
"It's worth pointing out that this movie was made on a $5 million budget, was rushed into production because the option was about to expire, and was filmed in only five weeks. The producer is an exercise equipment exec with no filmmaking experience, and the screenwriter's credits are limited to a handful of ultra-low-budget horror films."
Don’t hold your breath, FRiend...just from the photo it’s going to be bad - she’s NOT BLONDE damnit, and she too young. Gah!
Will there be a 3D Imax version?
As for ‘hitting’ that;
I’D TAG DAG
More worries — the inexperienced producer also plays John Galt, and the Director has never directed a movie. Pray like Ayn Rand would have despised for this thing to work.
You can't make "Atlas Shrugged" in five weeks and expect it to be anything more than a "made for TV" production values type movie
I only hope it’s free of nude scenes, sex scenes, and profanity.
‘Advice and Consent’ was a conservative book about Washington, and the movie turned almost all the good guys into bad guys and vice versa.
Awesome!
I’m betting it’s about par with those late night soft porn movies on HBO that have a plot about soldiers of fortune or women spies.
Eddie Willers as a black guy? Never saw that one!
“I only hope it?s free of nude scenes, sex scenes, and profanity”
Says who???? /s
Atlas ping.
To put that in some context, the recently televised first episode of Boardwalk Empire cost an estimated $18M (more than $65 for the 12-episode season). The Lost 2-hour pilot set a record for broadcast television, coming in somewhere between $10-14M. Most TV drama pilots cost on average $4M. This movie has the production cost of most hour-long tv dramas. That's not good.
