It was — but the main thing is it’s a long book, with a lot of substance. I thought that it would be better as a HBO miniseries, than as a movie. I’m relieved that it will at least be a trilogy. The material requires that much time, to do it justice.

A miniseries could’ve been good. But I don’t know, if they can make a great movie out of “Gone With the Wind” and a decent one out of “War and Peace,” it could be done with “Atlas Shrugged.”

Drop the monologues and right away you’re left with about 200 pages./s
