I can't believe any capitalist would choose to back a sequel to a film that lost so much money.

I just saw the commercial for this the other night and was so dismayed to see Samantha Mathis in it. I really hope she just needs the dough.

Is she playing a part played by somebody else in the first one. Dagby Fingnus or whatever?

Aw, poor kid. There's not a lot of money, I'm sure. Also, Fred from Roseanne is in there, I think.

Jon Polito and Michael Lerner were in Part I. When I learned that I got mad at the Coen Brothers. How could they not give those two a steady supporting role along the way?

I have to admit to being genuinely surprised that this is being made... The first half made zero impression, it seems, even in a "look at what a big flop this is" way.

I didn't realize that despite the same budget, they couldn't afford the same cast for this installment (and there's still meant to be a third part?). Watching the trailers makes me long for the camp of The Fountainhead...

I just hope they keep that 50-page speech in tact, just like Ayn Rand would've wanted.
"...everyone finally shut up, and the audience could enjoy the beginning of the Anatevka Pogram in peace."

Yeah that's what killed the made-for tv version that's been bouncing around Hollywood. Randites INSIST it's not worth doing without the treatise and TV executives know that no one is going to sit and watch a two-hour speech as the climax to your miniseries.

I'd totally watch it if it were done in one continuous shot, like Hitchcock's "Rope" (yes film experts, I know Hitchcock cheated).

That's almost as bad as when Michael York did The Omega Code.

That 50 pages is probably the most interminable thing ever put to the page.

DB Sweeney and Jason "I Got Free of Scientology" Beghe is are in it, too? It's like a treasure trove of lost early 90s actors!
I found that out on a Breitbart.com blog, which hilariously writes,
"The trailer for "Atlas Shrugged: Part II" has hit the web, and the blogs and mainstream media are reacting in the expected way.
They are either dismissing it or flat-out ignoring the fact that it looks a hundred times better than the first (which was still good) and has a real shot of connecting with audiences on October 12th."

Wait, there was a tv miniseries? *confused*

No Eric it was never made- partly because no one could figure out what to do with Galt's 50 page speech that serves as the story's "Climax."
When Rand was alive should would meet with potential producers and directors and tell them that they could only make Atlas Shrugged if they promised to use every word of the book.

Thanks Joe, I had no idea--although of course for The Fountainhead she did her own screenplay. I admit as a teen I read Fountainhead and Anthem, but never bothered with Atlast Shrugged...

Aw...Arye Gross is in it, too. Poor Samantha Mathis has to make that dialogue sound real? For everyone's sake, lets hope this one disappears quickly.
"Impossible is just a big word thrown around by small men who find it easier to live in the world they've been given than to explore the power they have to change it. Impossible is not a fact. It's an opinion. Impossible is not a declaration. It's a dare. Impossible is potential. Impossible is temporary. Impossible is nothing.”

I can say I've only seen one bit of promotional material for it, near Rockefeller Center. And that's probably a lot more than most people have seen.
I read it in high school and had a very brief fling with it. I could never even get into The Fountainhead.

All I know of The Fountainhead is that Robbie Gould told Frances "Baby" Houseman she should read it in the Catskills in 1963.
