Thanks for the info! That speech is such a central point of the book, and it is SO long that I have a hard time picturing how it would be filmed...

Well, they managed to get ary Cooper to recite the whole courtroom speech in “The Fountainhead.” That book’s rambling is far pithier (relatively speaking), granted. Nonetheless, it was un-movie-like, boring, obtrusive, and just plain odd.
On the basis of that, I can imagine something similar happening in “Atlas Shrugged, Part III.” Similar, I say, not a perfect reproduction. It’d turn into an Andy Warhol/Kaufman sorta gag to go through the whole thing. What was it, 70 pages? How long would that take to read straight through, without any pauses and related dramatic techniques? I think it says in the book that it took Galt three hours. No way that ever makes it into a movie, not even as a DVD extra.
