Atlas Shrugged - the movie!

A great movie is in the making - after a painstaking 15 years - the best selling book 'Atlas Shrugged' is being made into a movie. The leading actress playing Dagny Taggart will be Angelina Jollie - which is cool. Based on the article I have read by Robert James Bidinotto (see http://www.theatlasphere.com/columns/071013-bidinotto-atlas-shrugged-movie.php), the producer and script writer will do justice to the movie.
I suspect the reason why this movie took so long to make was the length of the book and its intellectual themes. There may also have been the odd film executive against the project, but Ayn Rand really did pack alot of plots into this movie, though I suspect the producer and script writers will do a great job drawing out the essence of the movie. Based on the current schedule, the movie is likely to be released in the USA in 2009.
