“Atlas Shrugged is on it’s way.”

That will be interesting! I’ll bet it’s the “liberal twist” version.

I’ve been watching them on FB. The book will be done in three movies. I’m really hoping that they kept the spirit of the book but, who knows?

I’m not really sure how they could spin this lib, unless they made James Taggart the hero!

From what I've heard from conservative insiders, "Atlas Shrugged" will not only be massively disappointing, but it will be massively boring. I'm told the screenplay was one of the "worst ever" by an actor who auditioned for one of the parts---against his better judgment.

But in Hollywood, there are no "sure things," and many of the megahits---"star Wars," "Passion of the Christ," "Twilight"---were turned down by most major studios or never even considered. "Twilight" already had 12 million readers and almost every studio in Hollywood passed on it. On the other hand, "Speed Racer" was supposed to be the next "in" movie, hip, blah, blah. Then you have animated films such as "Despicable Me," which is an enormous hit.

Piracy and DVDs have certainly made an impact, but there are movies people will still make a special trip to a theater to see ("Avatar"). Although it goes back a ways, you HAD to see "Independence Day" in the theater to appreciate it.
