Definitely not Galt, but maybe he could do a passable James Taggart. If I were to cast the film I'd be inclined to have Johnny Depp as Francisco, Patrick Stewart as Akston, and Harry Morgan (is he still alive?) as Judge Naraganset.

I think Mila Kunis would be perfect for Lillian Rearden...

Actually, I thought James Earl Jones would be good as Midas.

A younger Bill Shatner could have pulled it off but I don't see Rearden as a "hair plug" type.

In the category of probably too old, it's a shame:
Tom Selleck or James Wood as Hank.
I think they are both conservative, too.

I would peg Matt Letscher (Capt. Harrison Love from The Mask of Zorro) as Ragnar Danneskjod...he's the guy I pictured when I first read the book.

Alright, back to the drawing board. Casting alternatives, everyone! Catherine Zeta-Jones as the character she played in Ocean's Twelve was EXACTLY how I always imagined Dagny. I have no idea what kind of a spokesperson for the movie she'd be on the talk show circuits, however. OTOH, Heather Locklear dyed brunette would be even better AND a more competent spokesperson as well. Another capitalist to consider might be Janine Turner.

I still don't know who John Galt is.I'd point him out to you, but I haven't seen him around here in a while... I know that he WAS here, but he seems to have disappeared...

To: ImpotentRage
The fact that neither of them subscribe to Rand's ideas shouldn't be an issue. They are paid to play dress up and pretend and are both capable of that. It will be the responsibility of the producers and the director to see to it the things they are told to do are believable.
a more important issue is, would someone who looks like Pitt be a match to what Rand had in mind when she pictured Reardon. The answer is probably yes.
To: Monkey King
I don't know if you're familiar with the story of how Ayn Rand's first novel
'We the Living' came to the screen: It goes something like this.........
In the early 1940's the filming of this story began as a veiled critical piece against Mussolini. As an outwardly critical storyline against Liberal Soviet Totalitarianism it was perfect for the Axis Powers. Rand, as a philosopher, was not as well studied and known at this time. Once it was completed and premiered, the aspects of Rand's basic philosophy of Man's intellectual independence from any other entity, human or governmental, shown through and it was glaringly obvious that Rand also was opposed to Fascist Totalitarianism. The film was abruptly buried for decades and a restored version with English subtitles was shown in LA. I attended the LA premiere

Depending on how they manage to butcher the screenplay, the same may occur here, much to Brad & Angelina's dismay.
