I know nothing about makings movies, that should be obvious. However I have read enough, and seen enough films to know that the adoption of a book into a movie script takes talent and forethought and imagination. Plus a lot of story telling talent. All of that was missing, in my opinion.
Therefore, the making of AS 1 was a disaster.
At a time that cried out for a true telling of this important work, for important parallels to be shown, the story was butchered. Also, in unnecessarily leaving out large sections of the book, it must have made tying in Part 2 almost impossible.
I have not been able to bring myself to watching Part 2, but will have to so I can view Part 3.
I don't know MR. Scott, but his resume, as you give it hear does give me hope.

Unfortunately earlye, your question will not be seen here. You'll need to sign up as a Producer and then ask your question on the Producers Only event page located here: http://www.galtsgulchonline.com/posts/3d...

Here's a question for Mr Scott: The AS series has thus far not crossed over into the mainstream. What can be done to bring Libertarian/Objectivist/Classical Liberal films to the forefront?

whole new meaning

Now, you know I have a soft spot for the ladies. I would never do that... Can't we change that to step on a crack break a progressives back?

don't step on them either or you'll hurt your mother!

You speak my language. :)

Har har hardy har har!

Please, no!

No. You posted in the right spot Rocky. The event page is here: http://www.galtsgulchonline.com/posts/3d...

I think I posted in the wrong spot. Please disregard a duplicate.

Will Gulch members be able to attend the premier of ASIII and where will it be?

The event is now live Egg. Post your questions here: http://www.galtsgulchonline.com/posts/3d...

peanuts or almonds

apparently we're part of "comment alley"

Hey Eggman. You'll want to save those for Duncan's event starting later today in the Producers Lounge. The event post will show up there around noon ET.

Not to kill the fun banter of Comment Alley, but several early questions: What is the demographic buying tickets to AS (young vs. old, ah, babyboomers lol)? Is there any significant geographical difference (metropolitan vs. rural)? Are you taking this in account on any aspects of the making of ASIII? Are there any filmmaking principles, in regard to audience appeal, that you're following that apply to the creation of all forms of art (resolving the constant struggle of giving people what they want vs. sticking to your creative freedom)? The Eggman

Who is John Galt?

Look in the crack.

Woohoo!

Was there a particular actor you had in mind, who embodied the character of John Galt? Why?

Crud? lol (That's a MI word.)

I think we beat miracle whip and mayo to death anyway...but Duncan never weighed in on it and his preference remains a mystery. (Apparently he didn't realize the utmost importance of the survey.)

Yes, it's at PRECISELY 4:18, OA.

Sure Non_mooch. I'll just make sure to copy it into the event's post tomorrow.
