Hollywood does Ayn Rand -- from the writer of Braveheart and starring UN poster-moron Angelina Jolie. This I gotta see. By the way, best Objectivist movie ever: The Incredibles.

Oh, lawdie! Not that chick with two first names again. Haven't we seen enough of her?

Gag me with a spoon. She's got a great body, but that woman is no Dagny Taggart. And could they choose someone more antithetical to principles espoused by Ayn Rand? I am not a fanatic follower of her by any means, but I enjoyed Atlas Shrugged and The Fountainhead.

I LOVED the Incredibles...actually, just rewatched it a couple of nights ago.
Great soundtrack, too.

Dagny needs to be played by Ann Coulter. Maybe Condelizzzzza.
Maybe the story line needs to be modified to "remind" the view of real-life tycoons? I mean, what would happen if Bill Gates would shut down M$? Or if Richard Branson would close his empire?
And we need to get some idea for role models for modern "mooches" too....

Always thought Anthem would make a great flick. Apparently someone acquired the movie rights to it in 2004, but can't seem to find other news on its progress.

Scariest book I ever read was "Atlas Shrugged".
It will be interesting to see what kind of movie they make of it.

...he and his college-age son made a deal last year to read each other's favorite books.
Sounds pretty good....although I don't know where Ayn Rand is positioned in her beliefs.
BTW, in We were Soldiers..., Randall Wallace's son played the bugle-wielding french soldier who was shot in the neck and then finished off point-blank after the VC ambush of the "Frong parade".

(Angelina) Jolie is another longtime fan of Rand's, and she was eager to play the role of Dagny Taggart, the most powerful female character in any of the Russian-born author's books.17 posted on

I have to say it's pretty remarkable for any Hollywood type to mention Mere Christianity as his favorite book.

Angelina as Dagny - arrgh.
Well, I said the same thing when I heard Madonna was cast for the lead in Evita...but, dang, didn't she pull it off.
So I will hold out hope...it's a good sign that Angelina is a longtime fan of Rand's - at least she may understand the part

Kind of amazing from the director of the anti-gun, anti-McCarthy Iron Giant. I didn't see The Incredibles because of his involvement, but maybe I was wrong.

"his son's was "Atlas Shrugged," which runs more than 1,100 pages"
my copy has 1084 pages.
Angelina Jolie would be okay for the vapid wife of Hank but horrible for Dagney.
