$$$ Posted October 11, 2006 Report Share Posted October 11, 2006 What happens if Jolie gets the story changed a bit? Atlas Won't Shrug. The story of a woman trying to build a train line in Africa to feed the children. She is stopped by the greedy racist imperialist multinational corporations who won't work with the nice African governments who are just trying to help the people.

softwareNerd Posted October 11, 2006 Report Share Posted October 11, 2006 Then the leftists and nihilists will go read Atlas, and discover Objectivism and values, respectively. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Wrath Posted October 11, 2006 Report Share Posted October 11, 2006 That's what I say...any exposure is good exposure, because it will bring people to the actual book. Even if the ideas are misrepresented, the movie cannot have a negative impact. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniellecs Posted September 4, 2011 Report Share Posted September 4, 2011 I can't imagine Hollywood going Objectivist, but I can fervently wish it to be so. Tom Selleck tried to get Atlas Shrugged done as a mini-series. He very much wanted to play Hank Reardon. Obviously it came to nought, but he went up in my estimation just for trying. Hell, I'd be satisfied if Hollywood just showed some common sense. Dreamer that I am. I just can't imagine Tom Selleck as Hank... It's not right.

Ninth Doctor Posted September 18, 2011 Report Share Posted September 18, 2011 I have always pictured this guy as Hank Rearden: I see him as Prince George and/or Bertie Wooster. His novel is terrific, BTW. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madhavi Posted May 23, 2013 Report Share Posted May 23, 2013 I think Matt Bomer (of White Collar neal caffrey fame) would look epic as Ragnar. I can think of no other actor more attractive than him. as Hank Rearden- Christian Bale as Dagny Taggart- Rachel Weiz as Fransisco- benedict cumberbatch (of Sherlock fame) my DREAM Atlas Shrugged starcast!
