The film has not yet been picked up for distribution.
"Hollywood does not think enough people" are interested in the message of "Atlas Shrugged," says executive producer Harmon Kaslow to the room. This is why he has brought the film clips to CPAC - to prompt a grass-roots groundswell of demand for the film at theaters, "spread through the technology of freedom."
"Atlas Shrugged" was Rand's final work, the book in which she most clearly laid out her theory of objectivism, which argues that the pursuit of one's own happiness - "rational self-interest" - will ultimately lead to the betterment of society. It features a female railroad executive, the man she loves and the government who keeps trying to bring her down. The book is split into three parts; if enough interest and financing can be drummed up, "Atlas Shrugged: The Movie" will be followed by two sequels.

Also, why does Dagny have BLOND hair?! That's just wrong, she's a brunette, and certainly wouldn't highlight her hair.

I know. But at least they didn't tag Angelina Jolie for the part. That would have been horrifying.
They modernized this. The train looks like a freak'n bullet train.
The story doesn't work as well modernized. Rail was a major factor back in the 20s-40s.
Nowadays it's not and if it went under it wouldn't have the same effect.

s&f for bringing attention to my favorite book.
I don't think I want to see the movie. There's no way it will capture the meaning and tell the story completely. I've seen movie production teams and Hollywood turn good books into bad movies.
