Part 1 was not exactly a financial success; about 600,000 tickets were sold total during the film’s entire release. But you can be sure that every one of the ticket sales to Part 2 will be to a true believer.

God exists, and He’s an asshole.Report
Very true.Report
Wow. Atlas Shrugged II. This all almost sounds like a plot to discredit capitalism.Report
Been looking for a good place to post this.

Whoops, looks like I’ll have to do it the old fashioned way.Report
Always good for a smirk. Have any Mallard Fillmore?
When was the last time the Dems pushed a bill on the fairness doctrine, have they ever? I’m spacing. Gun control… on the state level must have been one pushed relatively recently. Acorn? Err what? When’s this cartoon from?Report
The URL has the date.Report
The first one left too many answers unhammered?Report
Which installment will contain John Galt’s speech? And who could possibly direct it besides zombie Louis Malle?Report
I’m pretty sure the first one only gets through half the plot, so they’d planned to make a second all along. Not sure why on earth they’d spend the money to finish it after how part I went over. . .Report
Because not everyone likes yachts.Report
And a third. According to the linked article:
The end of Part 2 takes place with a chase in the air between two jets.Report
Can’t be as bad as some of the other crappy Hollywood turns out.Report
I really hope Atlas Shrugged does really well on DVD. I saw it in theatres and ABSOLUTELY LOVED IT. Jsu Garcia was wonderful as Francisco D’Anconia and I thought they did just such a wonderful job with Ayn Rand’s classic. (I worked with Jsu Garcia on the feature film he did after Atlas Shrugged – The Wayshower) Atlas Shrugged has such a powerful message, so appropriate for today and the world we’re living in right now. Definitely feels like there are many wonderful movies coming out helping to lift consciousness. I mean Harry Potter, while they’re fantasy, they’re really bringing an incredible message for both young and old – about going within and finding your strength and being the change and goodness you want more of in your world. And Inception, Adjustment Bureau, and more.
Working on the movie ‘The Wayshower’, (inspired by the life of John-Roger) with Jsu Garcia, (and favorites Academy Award nominees Eric Roberts and Sally Kirkland) was incredible and I really hope it gets massive attention when it’s released next March. It’s so courageous and forward thinking in regards to a very metaphysical abstract portrayal of the journey we all take throughout life and the relationships we have with special mentors and teachers – special Wayshowers that enrich and change our lives forever. I loved this movie so much. So different and ground breaking. Check it out: http://thewayshower.com (sign up for free fanletter including free screening invites)Report
