Your Worries are OVER...Shrugged 2 will hit theaters...
« on: February 05, 2012, 01:43:47 pm »
Just before the election.  Because washed up and unheard of Actors gotta eat:

Quote
Apparently gluttons for more movie critic punishment, the producers of the first Atlas Shrugged movie have announced that production on Part Two will begin in the spring.

John Aglialoro, who independently produced and funded the first movie to the tune of $20 million, and Harmon Kaslow, another producer, announced that they would begin principal photography on the sequel in April, according to the Hollywood Reporter.

Ever attentive to timing, Aglialoro and Kaslow said they chose to announce the movie on what would have been Ayn Rand’s 107th birthday and are shooting to release it this October, right before the presidential election.

According to the Reporter, “for Part 2, [the producers] have brought on Duncan Scott, who produced We The Living in 1986, a three-hour long foreign film also based on a Rand novel.”

The first movie, which was championed by Tea Party groups like Freedomworks, was released on Tax Day last April. It’s based on Rand’s 1957 novel of the same name, and was originally intended to be the first of a trilogy. Things were looking pretty grim though after the movie was almost universally panned by critics, and earned a paltry $4.6 million at the box office.

Ironic in that they're supposed to do what makes them the most money.

I'd be more sympathetic if people here didn't act like they knew what they were saying when they were saying something very much wrong.

I was thinking the same thing.  Also, the believe that EVERYONE is a libertarian, even though they don't know it...They've just been brainwashed by the liberal media (and other assorted cliches).

Isn't this akin to making a sequel to Battlefield Earth?

Hell, I'd rather watch an uber-Christianized Narnia movie rather than watch even the first Shrugged.

It's funny because Narnia is already pretty Christian.

The worst would be a crossover between Battlefield Earth and Atlas Shrugged.

Actually, I kind of want to write a troll fic based on this premise...

My thoughts exactly. I for one hope they keep sinking millions into doomed projects like this and the invisible hand of the market keeps spanking them raw.

If I do write it, I promise to include a scene involving a giant, mecha Ayn Rand.

You know, there is a way they can get me to see it.

If it ends like THIS

(click to show/hide)

Although it would probably end "happier" in Ante's fic, with all the robots and stuff.

It's not a sequel really. The book was too long to make in to one movie, so it's the other half of the book.
