Who is Dagny Taggart?
Beautiful, tenacious, and fearless, Dagny Taggart has inspired women and men alike for over 50 years.
As Atlas Shrugged Part 3 heads to production, some major decisions still lay ahead. For the past several months, we've read all over the web everything from "Taylor was PERFECT!" to "Samantha IS Dagny!" to "You should have case [INSERT NAME HERE]!"
Now it's time for you to tell us directly. Who is Dagny Taggart?
Taylor from Part 1? Samantha from Part 2? If you had to pick someone else, who would it be? Beyond her ability to embody the character of Dagny Taggart, what else should be considered when casting Dagny? Should she already be an advocate of Ayn Rand's ideas? Should she have at least read Atlas?

Taylor did a good job but I feel that Samantha showed the weariness that Dagney started to feel.
Besides, Taylor is quite busy with her new series..
Wasn't one change enough?
I've always admired the beauty and persona expressed by Rosamund Pike, whom I saw most recently in Jack Reacher. She projects strength and sensitivity, not to mention her natural beauty. I have no idea if she would be willing to portray Dagny, but might be worth inquiring. The first movie I remember her from was one of the older James Bond movies starring Pierce Brosnan (I think she was the "ice lady").
Danielle Panabaker, if not Panabaker, get Diane Kruger, if not Kruger, Angelina Jolie, if not Jolie, Anne Hathaway, if not Hathaway,
Helen Hunt
Otherwise, both previous were good but Taylor was best.

On that note, why was this great and complicated epic done in only three movie episodes? What is needed is a 12 hour mini series!!
