I Can Hardly Believe This Is Finally Going To Happen

Atlas Shrugged Part 1. There will also have to be Atlas Shrugged Part 2, Atlas Shrugged - John Galt's Speech and then Atlas Shrugged Part 4.

The trailer.

Taylor Schilling as Dagny Taggart.

Grant Bowler as Hank Rearden.

Edi Gathegi plays Eddie Willers, my favorite.

Jsu Garcia as sexy Francisco D'Anconia.

Who is John Galt? Actually, I thought they might try to keep that secret until the movie opens on April 15, but no. John Galt is simply Paul Johansson who happens also to be the movie's director! Well, it is all about ego.

Screenplay by Brian Patrick O'Toole and John Aglialoro who's got no other movie credits at all, but is the producer of Atlas Shrugged. He's the Chairman and CEO of Cybex International and is supposed to be the 10th richest executive of a small public company.

There will be a private screening held February 24 at Sony Studios in Culver City.

I'm very familiar with the different views of Atlas Shrugged. I'm wondering, though, in what novel ways the Teabaggers will misinterpret it.

Lots of progressives really don't care for the ideas of Ayn Rand you know....
The Republitarians love her.
