So I just got back from our latest Atlas Shrugged Part III script meeting in Jersey. Did I miss anything important here in the Gulch while I was gone?

    Hi Scott. What can you tell us about the script meeting?

      Not too much but, I can tell that the script is really starting to take shape. Duncan read through the entirely of his first draft, which was about 80% done, and it was just fantastic. A few of us actually got choked up in a couple of spots and, believe it or not, the ending took us all completely by SURPRISE. Anyone who has read the book is going to be blown away. It was EPIC. Just EPIC.

        Odd. Most producers of trilogies would have had all three scripts done well in advance of lensing. Interesting that Part III has been "greenlighted", yet the script isn't even finished. On what basis, therefore, was it greenlighted? (Tweaking and rewriting a script is, of course, business-as-usual in the film biz; but not to have the screenplay even fully written yet is unusual to say the least.)

        Question:

        Duncan Scott was one of the screenwriters on Part II. Is it your opinion that Atlas Shrugged Part II was a well written screenplay?

    AHH Jersey. "The peoples republic of...?" Sorry to hear a bout your dilemma.
    Anyway, I just watched "The Strike" and I have to thank you for upgrading the vehicle driven by Hank. I dont know if it had anything it had to do with my comments about the first movie and the choice of vehicles, but if your involved with the scripts and the production, I am glad you spent the extra to reflect the man and his choice of quality and distinction. I've been gone for a while but wanted to check back into the gulch and let you know that the 2nd movie was a pleasant and welcome upgrade and that the 3rd Movie (AisA?) has big shoes to fill. Keep up the good work and we expect a BLOCKBUSTING! "Who is JG speech" portion. That should be able to really use the power of video to illustrate the speech and its content that took me 5-6 readings to fully digest! I CANNOT WAIT! Thanks again.
