Agree, but that might be the director's fault, not the actress.

So looking forwaard to Part 3 and tend to agree the Taylor Schilling was was best Dagny.

I'd like to see the same cast from 2 continue in 3.
One cast change is enough. I think Samantha Mathis did fine as Dagny, just needs a bit of refinement for 3. The actor that played Hank Rearden was much better.

No question about it, Part I cast was far superior, AND the people putting the film together were VERY illogical, shortsighted, non-capitalist and general JERKS for not getting commitment from actors to be in the other PARTS and at established pay rates-- this would have been valuable to BOTH SIDES when first signing. [Of course a release clause could have been included IF the actor was strongly rejected by the public or if a long term' commitment was already in place for the actor, so he/she was not available -- other than that, the actors should have continued!

Yes!!! Let's meet Ragnar, an essential character not seen yet.

As I posted earlier, Taylor Schilling IS Dagny Taggart—beautiful, strong, intelligent, determined. Samantha Mathis really disappointed me as Dagny. I actually preferred the Part I cast much better than Part II—maybe they'll all come back! But definitely Taylor Schilling.

maybe all of taylor's friends are in the gulch? :)

Could not agree more strongly. Taylor is Dagney.

How about Clint Eastwood to direct?

Youuuuuuuuu!!!!

I agree completly. Mathis might be an okay actor, but she came across as a victim who felt very sorry for herself....Dagner may have been a victim, but she never felt sorry for herself!

I'm with you

hey! maree! we were getting worried. tell us what's going on since we last heard from you

I would LOVE LOVE LOVE to see Taylor Schilling recast as Dagny; Samantha Mathis just seemed so miscast for the part, more whiny and less strong & assertive IMHO

This is on a scale beyond Les Miserable. Think how often it took to bring that masterpiece to the screen so that it's message resounded. Crow epistemology is clearly in play and the message of Billy Flynn to Roxey applies. The succinct message is two fold. The rejection of sacrifice and the acceptance of reason.

LET'S HOPE there are no more cast changes! How will a 3 set version EVER explain changes between 1 & 2!

wow what an amazing video! So full of passion and content, I especially liked that half of it was just music, what a great use of time. How about making the movie represent the point of the book, teach people about capitalism and don't worry about appealing to the average sheep.

When will we see Ragnar? and his fabulous battleship? I would recommend a CGI triple haul ship. Now that would look futuristic and cool. You all have done wonderfully though. Thanks so much.

Welcome back!

Hail Atlantis!

Fabulous. I haven't been on board for weeks, and I arrive back and get this terrific news.

This is so exciting.... to see the people who are so passionate about the novel coming to life.... like we are.... Thanks for this behind the scenes peek Scott....

It's clear that Mr. Aglialoro feels passionately about the quality of this final production. Thank you for sharing this here. :-)

Splendidus, magnificus!

This is great news, I was a little worried part III might not make it. I will be looking forward to it.
