Wow! I was starting to get ticked off when I realized you were on a "sarcasm" roll. Whew! For a minute there, I was taking this too seriously! I'd be so disappointed to have Dagney Taggert's character utterly degraded by the likes of any one of those three you mentioned, but ESPECIALLY Susan Saranwrap. For one thing, she's too old! And secondly, she's just plain 'ol icky!

Oh, that was cute, that was. Especially the Mouch part.... but I often entertain myself with REAL casting fantasies. I always come to the conclusion that it will all have to be computer-created because real life Hollywood holds almost no one who could play any of these parts.

For a minute there, I thought Hollywood was spitting on Ayn Rand's grave. Lol, had me going for a minute!

"Dagny Taggart --- Susan Sarandon,"
Right there I knew it was a joke. Who would cast her?
To: jim_trent
LOL Seems that the parts are all being pursued by the leftist losers of Hollyweird.

Who can doubt that the movie would be just like this. Morality is evolving, you know.

I know Susan Sarandon is a leftie actress, but that's about all. Strident, though, I recognize...

>Ann Rand?s heir, Leonard Peikoff, sold the movie rights to ?Atlas Shrugged? many years ago.
That is why it was never made into a movie. Bad move Leonard. So I guess it was basically s***canned, gathering dust in some movie company's inventory.
To: jim_trent
Excellent.
