Atlas Shrugged: The Movie

According to Mike Rosen, a low budget version has been filmed and is being prepared for distribution. Will you see it? As a fan of Objectivism, I will see the movie. Plus I am also interested to see how they could convert such a massive tome into less than a 3 hour movie. John Galt's speech might take an hour in itself.
I fully expect leftie movie critics to attack the production not on merit but to discourage anyone from seeing it.

If it's got a decent car chase and some explosions, I'll go see it.

I read books to expand my mind. I see movies to entertain me while my brain's asleep.

As long as it has Tom Cruise, Julia Roberts, Susan Sarandon, The Baldwins, Gwyneth , I think it will be a hit.

I read on [url=http://www.imdb.com" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;]www.imdb.com[/url] that it will be a 2 part movie, that makes a lot more sense.

Movies only to entertain while my brain is asleep? Opposite me, I only tend to like movies that explore subjects I don't know well. So tired of typical movie plots and effects.

Well it's not like I'm gonna pay theater proces to see something like Atlas Shrugged anyway - I'll wait for it to be a Sunday night movie on Fox.

Read the book - turgid. Saw on Wikipedia that movie may be a trilogy. I'm not waiting with bated breath.
