On the Set of Atlas Shrugged: 53 Years in the Making
Loading...
Uploaded by ReasonTV on Jul 28, 2010
Many actors and producers have talked about adapting Ayn Rand's classic Atlas Shrugged for the big screen, but 53 years after its publication no one has dared tackle the ambitious project—until now.
Reason.tv heads to the set of Atlas Shrugged Part One to offer viewers a rare behind-the-scenes glimpse of this most anticipated film.
Director Paul Johansson (One Tree Hill) and Grant Bowler (Lost, True Blood, Ugly Betty), who plays Henry Rearden, discuss the perils, pressures, and pleasure involved in telling the epic tale of a society where the "men of the mind" go on strike and refuse to contribute to a collectivist world.
Produced by Ted Balaker and Hawk Jensen. Camera by Austin Bragg and Hawk Jensen. Production support by Sam Corcos.
Music: "Eu Nao Sabia" by Anamar available from Magnatune Records.
Approximately 5.3 minutes.

Rand was restating the obvious. Think for yourself. A=A. You're responsible for your own actions. What made her novels so bad was the extremity. "Yeah, we should be so individualistic as to ditch society and live by ourselves in Colorado."
No self-respecting human would abandon humanity like that. It's just not in the cards.

i think maby aynn might have wrote the book while travleing out west. on i-84 in utah, there is a sign by the tracks that says; taggert and wyoming and colorado have oil fields and large refineries. it was really cool for me to see this and many other things out there that suggested this theory

"...he doesn't owe you shit...". YES YES YES! This made me leap to my feet and pump my fist in the air. My hope is this movie will spark more interest in the book and the momentum from that will put our great nation back on track where each person is raised with the primary understanding that you are responsible for your own destiny.
