Looks interesting, count me in.

BTW thank you for the subtle changes on the forum.

The dashed lines and reduced indention really make a difference.

Very cool offer, I know that the producers selected for the team will give you a no holds barred honest assessment, and will help steer the direction that will bring amazing profitability to ADC!

I'm curious as to whether this is going to be only for new films or for the re-release of extant films.

Something I've become seriously enthusiastic about are films and television shows, past, present and future, that are little-known or completely unknown in the USA, but which are often jaw-dropping in their "objectivist-friendly" elements. A simple example would be the late Jûzô Itami's 1987 farce "A Taxing Woman" -
[ http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0093502 or http://tinyurl.com/pforn26 ] As you can see, the DVD is out of print and difficult to lay one's hands on. But if ever a film merited a re-release...

I've long held that despite its many collectivistic cultural and political elements, Japan has retained and refined much of what America has lost (or more precisely, discarded,) in culture, in personal dignity, in many of the objectivist virtues.

A spectacular place to experience this is in Japanese television dramas, nicknamed "doramas" here. Rather than extended series, they typically run just 10 to 12 episodes at under an hour apiece, and run the gamut from cop shows, medical dramas, romances and the like, and covering subjects like vigilantism (à la Mr. Bidinotto's excellent novels "Hunter" and "Bad Deeds,") Roark-like artists battling compromise, unruly college punks learning self-discipline and dedication to work on assignment to remote ag farms, genius-level kids battling conformity in public schools, high school kids dealing with horrific bullying via dramatically-stunning moral choices, etc. (And yes, I'm happy to provide recommendations for the curious - the problem is finding the shows... Others may have seen similarly-excellent programs in other countries?)

The trouble is that the major producers if these (FCI network, etc,) discontinued English subtitling in the late '90s and at least one American cable network that ran them (I-Channel, which later became AZN-TV,) has folded. Short of gaining fluency in a difficult foreign language, one is left with a smattering of subscription sites or buying DVDs with hit-or-miss translations and of questionable legitimacy.

I'm not in the business so I do not have a clue as to feasibility, but I do know there is a huge, unserviced fan base that's waited in vain for someone to negotiate a deal to license, translate, subtitle and distribute films and television shows currently unavailable in North America.

So... "Dear Santa." 8^]

oh, yes, please, I'd love to!

As everyone here knows [and many people who are not here also know], I have a difficult time giving my opinion, but I will do my best./end sarcastic font

I'm really pleased to see that Atlas Distribution is going ahead with this project.

Interesting questions you ask. Under the number of movies category you should have specified if that was in a theater or through another source.

Why do the characters in the movies change?

This would be awesome, and I would love to do it! But unfortunately I cannot, as I'm quite sure anything they'll be showing will never be near me! Since I had to beg for Atlas Shrugged for Christmas, since I couldn't see Part 3 in the theaters... I would say it's a safe bet I won't get to participate! maybe I can sign up my dad? :)

Thought I had replied to this way back. If not and its not too late I can always see another movie.

I was born in New Zealand and now live near the Great barrier Reef in Australia
I have a sensational screenplay but don't know what to do with it. I am a co founder of SaveNaturefree and I think without hesitation that if the screenplay were made into a movie it would be a massive box office hit.

Sounds interesting and fun.

Please, may I?

Does this mean John Aglialoro is, for now at least, out of the movie making business?

I would suggest making a movie version of Ayn Rand's Novella, 'Anthem', in order for people to see a horrifying future based on the horrors of socialism, big government, collectivism, and primitive societies In order for people to understand why Individualism and Capitalism are the only answers for Freedom and Liberty.

$5Au prefers films starring golden-haired actresses, but is open to anything as long as it isn't a musical.

Count me in!!!

oh this going to be fun!
