  3. The message is the important thing in a movie of Atlas Shrugged. No Hollywood film will present the message because it is opposed to everything that Hollywood (and the mass media) holds dear. In fact, I doubt that a movie of Atlas Shrugged will be produced until after the current American crisis is concluded and the structure of politics and Hollywood have changed. erhaps on the centennial of the book's original publishing. Given all that, I think the message of Atlas Shrugged would be best served with a relatively unknown cast (as done by Lucas in Star Wars) or with a cast of "character" actors with faces that are recognizable, but with names that most people do not remember. Most of them are better actors than those on the Hollywood "A" list. As director, I would have to consider the core beliefs of any actor before I thought them capable to represent Atlas Shrugged to the public on film and off, and many "A" list actors would never be considered on that basis. I try not to support the enemies of my beliefs.
