No kidding. Seems almost sacrilegious to cast a quintessential "looter" in the role of Dagny Taggart.
I'm sure I'll see the movie out of sheer intrigue, but I'm already cringing at the liberties I'm sure they'll take with the fundamental principles propounded in the book. Ugh.

After seeing what Michael Douglas did with the "Greed is Good" speech in the movie "Wall Street", I suspect that Hollywood won't know how to handle John Galt's version. I suspect that they'll concentrate on the story line, and minimize the ideological underpinnings as much as possible.
