Interesting casting, not sure what they saw of Dagny in Taylor Schilling. Most of the cast seems to be B and C list at best.

True, but would you want to see Tom Cruise as John Galt? Or Gwyneth Paltrow as Dagny Taggart?

I think as long as (and this is a real longshot) the producers demand that the integrity of the intent of the book remains intact, it doesn’t matter who the cast is as long as they are decent actors. The star of the movie should be the book itself and its ideals.

You just repeated what the guy behind the money said.

Plus he didn’t want to spend the money for “name” actors.

I always pictured someone like a young Daniel Day Lewis as John Galt, and either Carrie-Anne Moss or Kelly Lynch as Dagny. And definitely Scott Glenn as Ellis Wyatt.

I thought Angelina Jolie was set to play Dagney. What happened?
