IT'S HAPPENING: Atlas Shrugged Television Series

At the start of the year, Atlas Shrugged Producer John Aglialoro hinted at the potential for an Atlas Shrugged mini-series ( http://www.galtsgulchonline.com/posts... ). Last week, John made a trip to Hollywood and met with... some very interested MAJOR players.

How does a full blown television series sound!?

Yep. It's really happening. We can't say too much just yet, but suffice it to say, John's meetings in Hollywood were VERY productive and the groups we're talking to are incredibly enthusiastic and ready to move mountains to make it happen. We should hopefully have something official to announce within the next few weeks so stay tuned.

As the project progresses, we're going to be reaching out to you for your opinion from time to time.

This would be one of those times.

Keep in mind, certain people who are not active in the Gulch, but very interested in your opinion, will be reading your comments on this post.

Got it? Good. Here we go...

Should the Atlas Shrugged television series be a period piece set in the 1950s or should it take place, as Ayn Rand alluded to, "the day after tomorrow?"


P.S. Because it worked so well for us with the trilogy, of course we have every intention of changing the entire cast every episode. No. No, we won't.

    I loved the first two segments of the Trilogy, but was very disappointed in the final segment. In addition to the weakness of the third segment, I think changing the actors in each segment definitely detracted from the Trilogy. I hope the Television Series will maintain the same set of actors in every episode.

    I would start it "the day after tomorrow". I love the idea of the series, but I must say that Party III left a lot to be desired. Parts I and II were much better. So some careful work should be done to redo some of the last part before it gets to that point in a TV series.

      I completely agree joy-123. That was my first thought when I read this news - I am so excited for the potential of a series, but if the writing, acting, directing and editing are on par with Part III, it will probably only hurt the Atlas name and not help it. Part I and II were great movies, but III really fell hard. Extremely disappointing.

    If you care about the book and Rand's philosophy, cease and desist.

    Agliagoro's movies were terrible- they showed that the man has no common sense, no concept, and no understanding of the philosophy whatsoever- and the casting was simply atrocious.The material in his hands suffers horribly in all aspects- and somehow we are to believe a miniseries would be better? No, please. Find someone else to helm this project, or else you will only do further damage to the property.
