The Fountainhead (trailer)

"Do you want to stand alone against the whole world?"

Architect Howard Roark has heard the voices of safety, convention, compromise. But Roark is a man as unyielding as the mighty structures he builds. And he will sacrifice everything--the woman he loves or the project he dynamites when others interfere with his design--to maintain his individuality in a world of lockstep conformity.

Thumbs up if you just can't imagine Gary Cooper as Howard Roark

[Marz10747]

I would look to see Howard's orange hair.

who else is watching this just so they can bullshit the essay and apply to the 10000 dollar scholarship?

[abhinandrd]

they should re-make it with actors who remain true to characters within the book.. i felt only peter keating looked as the way potrayed in the book... and the director who can do it wud be i feel, francis ford coppola..

[condogwow]

This is all wrong....

[JukkiJukkiLime]

I don't think I'll be able to sit through the movie if it's this unnatural and Hollywood throughout. After having read the book, this trailer is almost painful to watch. In particular, Roark, Toohey, and Dominique are just.. wrong.

And I don't mean that in a good way

Peter Keating "selfish"(?!) wow, if your going to make a movie based on a novel you might want to grasp the Novels themes. Keating was the image of a self-less man

[fab006]

"Peter Keating - selfish, weak." Hahahahaha :)

@cashmeresox You are right about the connection between the book & script. I saw the movie, first, then started but couldn't finish the book because of disappointment. Rand did approve the casting for her book. In real life, Cooper & Neal were romanically involved, and, for some reason, Cooper didn't want her cast in Dominique's role. Their chemistry was great, and they weren't acting.......K

and Dominique had really straight hair!!! and Roark's hair is compensated bcos b&w is all they have had.

I WONDER WHAT WAS WRONG WITH THESE FILMMAKERS LONG AGO...

[cashmeresox]

I feel as if they should remake this film and modify it so it looks more how readers picture it. I definitely did NOT see Howard Roark as some elder man... He was in his twenties in the beginning of the damn book, for god's sake! Why would you depict him as such an aged man? He also had bright "orange" hair... None of the characters seemed right.

I demand a remake!
