“The American people will never knowingly adopt Socialism. But under the name of ‘liberalism’ they will adopt every fragment of the Socialist program, until one day America will be a Socialist nation, without knowing how it happened.”

Atlas Shrugged....the movie.....FINALLY!!!


Fans of Atlas have been waiting for this for a very long time....

From Variety -- The long-brewing feature version of author Ayn Rand's "Atlas Shrugged" has begun shooting in Los Angeles as a $5 million indie produced by John Aglialoro and Harmon Kaslow.
Cameras began rolling over the weekend on a five-week shoot for "Atlas Shrugged Part One" with Paul Johansson directing from Brian Patrick O'Toole's script.

CAST:

Paul Johansson ("One Tree Hill").....John Galt

Taylor Schilling ("Mercy)......Dagny Taggart

Grant Bowler ("Ugly Betty")......Hank Reardon

Apparently it'll be done in three parts since it's such a long story. I seriously hope they do it right. I'll be profoundly disappointed if they miss the points and pollute it with predictable Hollywood liberalism.
