I'm Duncan Scott, screenwriter for Atlas Shrugged Part III. Ask me anything.
Long ago, I worked directly with Ayn Rand to edit the movie, "We The Living." Today, I'm honored and thrilled to be writing the Atlas Shrugged Part III screenplay. I'll be returning here at around 4PM ET this afternoon, for about an hour, to answer your questions and read your comments. I look forward to hearing from everyone!

Just kidding...
It's too early to tell you what the final length will be, but the speech will be the signature scene of the film. I've looked long and hard at how Rand adapted the speech in her film version of "The Fountainhead" - looking at what aspects worked and what to avoid.
In Europe first we see punitive tax rates introduced.
Then raiding the bank accounts belonging to the "rich"
Now the next proposal is huge levy taxes on homes & properties deemed "wealthy".
Will you be weaving some of that into the movie to make it feel up to the moment?
