"3 seasons, 13 episodes per season - that would be 39 episodes to tell the story. To tell it the way it's supposed to be told - explicitly." - John Aglialoro, Producer

Today, he said that. This morning actually. Nothing official yet, but yes, John laid out a plan for a mini-series and set it as a real goal for 2015-2016. How's that for a Happy New Year!?

2015... HERE. WE. COME.

Happy New Year!

John, I'm delighted to hear this news. I hope this new format will allow you to do more character development and create a greater sense of drama and heroism than I experienced with your first two films. Eagerly awaiting the series...

I think this is a fantastic idea!!! Atlas Shrugged is a nuanced and complicated book with truly compelling characters. I would be glued to my hulu, neflix, or TV set if this were to happen.

Wouldn't it be hilariously ironic to start Galt's Gulch as a reality TV show?

  I can see it now. A small island setting. A diverse collection of people placed there with no objective to meet except living a fulfilled life. Examining each of their paths could prove interesting.

Thank you for not giving up on Atlas Shrugged no matter what. We'll be hoping that more and more people discover and share Ann Rand's vision.

I would be very happy to see that. Would the History Channel be an appropriate network for such a mini-series?

    The History Channel has a good Ragnar on the Vikings series.

Serious question: how can one monetarily invest in the project, even at a micro level?
