I am convinced that there isn’t a single Objectivist working on this film.
Okay, that’s just… retarded. :o
Someone please tell me that these morons will loose the rights to the book soon…
You all have been punked.
I hope. :huh:

They won’t. In fact the reason this film was put together in such haste was because the rights were about to expire. Since the film is officially made the rights are now retained. I’m not sure for how long.
I am sure he is taking the piss… :unsure:
All I can picture is John Galt singing his speech for 20 minutes straight.

The concept of a musical adaptation of Rand’s work isn’t facially absurd. The most recent issue of ARI’s “Impact” newsletter mentions a 3-act musical adaptation of Anthem put on by a theater company in Austin that apparently turned out quite well. The success of the Broadway adaptation of Les Miserables shows that it can be done to great and complex novels.
The thing that makes Aglialoro’s comments absurd is the idea of doing just one part out of a trilogy as a musical. A musical is a different genre from straight drama. Doing Atlas Shrugged as a trilogy in which two parts are drama and one part is a musical would be a glaring genre shift in the middle of what should be a tightly integrated work. Imagine how you would react if you sat down to watch a movie and it played as a regular drama for 75 minutes and then people broke into song during the last half-hour for no explained reason. You’d assume the movie had been cobbled together, badly, from parts created by two different people.
Hey.. you know, it’s possible that it could be like “Saturday Night Fever” type musical.. where the characters themselves aren’t singing, but there is a song playing in the background.
Yeah. That’s what I’ll tell myself.

I’ve actually daydreamed about writing Galt’s oath as a motet along the lines of Josquin Des Pres or Bach.

The performance enhancement of Auto-Tune works on all languages. All prose is now poetry.

In that light, I offer up this.
I was sharing a serious idea in the midst of jokes. I guess that wasn’t smart.
During an appearance on John Stossel’s FOX show last week to promote the release of Atlas Shrugged, Aglialoro stated that the suggestion of making part three a musical was basically just “marketing spin,” so I think we can all breathe a huge sigh of relief.
