No, the entire book will take a trilogy. This is Part 1, so it covered only the first portion of the book, up through the launch of the John Galt line. They foresee parts 2 and 3 coming out at approx. 1 year intervals.

They aren’t showing Galt’s face in this movie, because he doesn’t appear ‘visually’ until Galt’s Gulch.

I imagine it's a question of finances?
At one per year - that gets the message ‘out there’ dangerously late? But perhaps, if the second one comes out next spring, enough of the ‘message’ will have been shown to wake up the majority of the remaining ‘sleepers’?

Even this first one should result in another major upswing in book sales.

Maybe there's an unseen hand helping in rolling things out exactly as it needs to be seen?
I'm a hopeless optimist. (Is that an oxymoron?)

BTW, I have to say that this thread has been one of the most pleasant in some time. The general tone is more like the first years after I stumbled upon FR. It's been nice!

If I recall correctly, at the opening of the book, the conductor on the train Dagny was riding on was whistling a “lost” theme from her favorite composer. We find out later that the composer had vanished and moved to the Gulch, which is the only place the conductor could have heard the music. Methinks that that conductor was John Galt.
