Who wants to chip in to buy No1 and Rwingett a pair of opening weekend tickets each so that they and their significant others (or friends, I'm not picky) can enjoy what no doubt will be the highlight of their weekend?

A trilogy, eh? Sounds long and tedious; a faithful adaptation of the book.

Indeed. Isn't there some second rate superhero they've overlooked somewhere that they could make a movie out of? I don't think they've done Aquaman yet.

Is this another one of those masochist festivals? Rand's extant screenplays were already coma-inducing. The book demonstrated an embarrassingly inadequate level of emotional development. Her life itself was embarrassing. I know teenagers who have a better grasp human relationships. What is the attraction to Rand? Every intelligent Libertarian I have ever known considered her to be the worst thing ever to happen to Libertarian philosophy and among actual philosophers she is only a bad joke.

Actually, King Vidor's film of The Fountainhead, from a script by Rand, is very stylish and entertaining. But I think that's got more to do with Vidor, a director who was usually able to bring conviction and power to melodrama, than with Rand's original story.
Interestingly, We the Living was filmed without Rand's permission in Italy in 1943; the film got the go-ahead as an anti-Communist film, without Mussolini realising that it could also be interpreted as a satire on other forms of totalitarianism, such as his own. After a few weeks in the theatres, Mussolini belatedly realised the truth, and the film was pulled.

Fun Fact: Rand despised the Libertarians and felt they owed her money and public, legal acknowledgement for "her ideas".

Other than her sycophants and virile, manly capitalists, who didn't she despise?
