"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!

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

    Just please don't change the characters every episode! :-)

    This would be great to see. I look forward to it and will have post its ready. I also want to thank the Atlas team again for having me out to the World Premier in Las Vegas. It was a thrill of a life time meeting Mr. Aglialoro, his wife and the Atlas team. Thank You Clint Wooten

    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.

    wonderful news - and, as others have said, tell us how we can help [yes, I will eat breakfast for 45 minutes - or anything I can do!].

    In the current TV market this would really make sense as long as it can be produced properly. AND as long as I can burn from my memory that tag line from the last movie. ("You're my forever" or whatever it was. I tried to forget it as soon as I heard it.)

    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.

    Now that's a project I could support.

    At first I thought he was quoting me. Then I realized--the numbers were a little off. I would have plumped for ten episodes per season, to go along with the named chapters of the three parts of the book. But yes, I could see thirteen. And especially: carving out a special three-hour episode to carry the whole of John Galt's speech.

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