What Would be Really Cool after “Atlas Shrugged: Who is John Galt?

I think I like the direction picked to cast Eric Allen Kramer as Ragnar Danneskjöld. After this movie is done, then what?

What would be cool is a television show on Glenn Beck's Blaze Network called the Further Adventures of Ragnar Danneskjöld. You know, there was a lot that the pirate from Atlas Shrugged did which was only alluded to in the novel. It would make a great series if there was a will to do it. Glenn Beck is looking for something to fill his big studio space. It would be a great way to help keep things going and continue building an audience. Of course it takes money and revenue, but if there was a business model to support it, would there be a will?

    I have mixed feelings, but upon consideration I like the idea.

    Pirates, now, would be very popular. You could get lots of people tuning in each week to watch his adventures w/o realizing they're being exposed to Objectivist ideas...

    And there'd be the yearly visit to Atlantis, with guest appearances by Galt, D'Anconia and Akston.

    They are looking to grow and need a vehicle. It would be a good relationship. A strong series like a Duck Dynasty type of thing would expand their network into cable. I can see a series about pirates on a boat discussing Objectivist concepts while raiding "statist" targets as having great potential.

    Hello overmanwarrior,
    I know a lot of people don't want to talk about what may come after the conclusion of the movies because they want to avoid distraction from promotion now... I don't get the Blaze Network, but I would be interested. There is definite potential.
    Regards,
    O.A.

    A lot of the Gulch members in the book sort of came and went. The series could be about the adventures they embarked on that wasn't in the novelized story.

    It would make a great series. The Blaze would be a good place to start. There would be support for it in that organization.
