IT'S HAPPENING: Atlas Shrugged Television Series
At the start of the year, Atlas Shrugged Producer John Aglialoro hinted at the potential for an Atlas Shrugged mini-series ( http://www.galtsgulchonline.com/posts... ). Last week, John made a trip to Hollywood and met with... some very interested MAJOR players.
How does a full blown television series sound!?
Yep. It's really happening. We can't say too much just yet, but suffice it to say, John's meetings in Hollywood were VERY productive and the groups we're talking to are incredibly enthusiastic and ready to move mountains to make it happen. We should hopefully have something official to announce within the next few weeks so stay tuned.
As the project progresses, we're going to be reaching out to you for your opinion from time to time.
This would be one of those times.
Keep in mind, certain people who are not active in the Gulch, but very interested in your opinion, will be reading your comments on this post.
Got it? Good. Here we go...
Should the Atlas Shrugged television series be a period piece set in the 1950s or should it take place, as Ayn Rand alluded to, "the day after tomorrow?"
P.S. Because it worked so well for us with the trilogy, of course we have every intention of changing the entire cast every episode. No. No, we won't.

Db says keep it as close to the actual story as possible with entertainment value has to trump philosophical content without negating the philosophy.
It could also offer a means for same individuals to express their views.
The idea of it becoming a TV series is so wonderful that I'm afraid I'm a little choked up.
2. Since you joked about the cast changes, I am going to comment, even though you did not ask a question about it. Please, please, PLEASE, I am begging you on selfish, individualistic knees, do NOT change the cast. Lock those actors in by contract for the duration of the ENTIRE mini-series. Oh... by "the cast", I mean whatever cast you hire at the onset of the mini-series. I am not suggesting you specifically use the cast of any of the 3 trilogy movies.
Fortunately (for the story tellers) the political climate of today is approaching Ayn's prediction asymptotically; giving the producers of the series ample material to capture from live TV almost unedited.
I'd start from a base line of the world as it is now and then project it just as she did - i.e. what is the current course we are on leading to?
