> ... to be played by Angelina Jolie ...
Another epic in the tradition of Ishtar and Heaven’s Gate.

It should be interesting to see how badly Hollyweird wrecks an excellent book. Angelina Jolie? Kee-rist...

Whatever happened to Jolie’s Daniel Pearl film? It was released to great fanfare but seems to have just disappeared.

Angelina Jolie could only be the vapid wife of the metal owner designer!
No other place for her!

You are absolutely right. With that bad typecasting for Dagny Taggart, I can imagine how the story will be.
To: SAJ
Had the rights remained with Phil Anschutz ( a modern day Hank Reardon), I would have looked forward to it. Now that Lionsgate has taken over (Farenheit 9/11, The Day After Tomorrow) I’m afraid it’s going to be a major disappointment.

Anymore, with Hollywood, it’s “style over substance”. However, I don’t even think Jolie looks that good anymore - she’s gotten so skinny. What is she down to now - like a size negative three?

Since it’s Hollywood, they are probably still trying to hire Arnold to play the part of Atlas . . .

Should have been a miniseries on HBO or a 1-season series on FX.

We’ll see.
Hey, Lord of the Rings was full of liberal actors too.

I forsee a complete bastardization of the book’s message. The same way Verhoeven turned the society of “Starship Troopers” into a neofascist dystopia.

The bad news is that John Galt is replaced with Larry Craig.

Too bad they didn’t film this in Lauren Bacall’s heyday. She’s exactly what I pictured Dagney being like.

Remember how Tom Clancy's The Sum of all Fears was butchererd? With Angelina Jolie playing Dagny Taggart, I suspect it's going to be turned into an anti-capitalist screed, the precise opposite of what it really is.
