B - The message is EVERYTHING : When I first read the book, I would never have believed that Rand's scenario would actually happen, but it has!
but A is a close second for Taylor Shilling although Samantha did a decent job.
With a story as expansive as Atlas Shrugged and with themes that run pervasively throughout the novel, it is essential especially in Part III to make sure the message of Ayn Rand's philosophy comes through with an emphasis on character strength and delivery of dialogue.
A shorter novel for sure, and I am not sure she could have pulled off the same control for Atlas Shrugged, given the constraints of then current film lengths....
Somehow I don't think that she would have endorsed ANY effort to bring AS to the screen.
I am no cinematographer, but believe special effects should support plot & cast, not the other way around.
Can't wait for it!
I know nothing about anything involved in making a movie, so I realize that my suggestions are no better that a "wish list".
I have no concerns what-so-ever about, B.
So, that said, my top 5, in order are:
1) F: National,wide ad campaign which bluntly states that the explanation for what the Marxists in D.C. and beyond are doing can be found in ASP3. WIDE!
2) F: Screenplay - Show, don't tell! Use the medium: use the visual to provide context, not dialogue - reference the scene in ASP1 where Ellis is talking to Dagney about the rockslide: this would have been better shown.
3) E: Hire a director who understands and will implement 2.
4) D: In order to implement 2, good special effect will be needed. My opinion: the effects in ASP2 could have been better.
5) C: Again, use the medium (see 2 and 3).
So, that and $2.00 will get you a cup of coffee.
Again, thanks for asking.
B. message is next
A. believable performances are also important
C and D are icing and will come together naturally
