    I think there might be a little jumping the gun here with thoughts that this teaser is a call for extras, but I could be wrong.

    Similar teasers like this one were sent out for ASP1 & ASP2.
    In both instances the call was for gulchers to send in videos of themselves saying a phrase: for ASP1 "I am John Galt.", for ASP2 "Atlas Shrugged Part 2, now in theaters."

    The submissions were compiled into a montage which was released on the special features disk for ASP1 DVD and ASP2 DVD respectively.

    I'm expecting this teaser call to be much the same thing.

    I was able to get my submission for ASP1 in on time, but not ASP2, which I still kick myself over.

    I will be more than happy to do another submission of this type for the special features disk of ASP3.
    And I *will* get this one in on time.

    She was a genius, so I can't compare to her, but I fully share her sentiments. I desperately wish this movie had a huge impact on America. Thanks.

    I don't want this for me, but for my husband/business partner. Not only is he a long-time Rand follower, and a many-times-over re-reader of Atlas, and someone who will try and pass her word on to others...but is most importantly to me, an example of someone who has put our money and objectivist passion where his mouth is by using her principles to keep our small 110-year-old iron foundry alive through the toughest 26 years in its history...despite the number of bureaucrats and bankers he had to battle who often did not understand why he was doing things the way he did. (Yes, I am a proud wife...had I gotten a piece of Rearden Metal jewellery... I would have worn it...to work every day while I helped him reach our goals!)

    So was (and did, before she worked to lose it) Ayn Rand... and look what SHE accomplished!!

    I dunno... that may take a lot - make that Herculean effort - of acting talent for the greater majority of the folks here. I don't think I could do it and either keep a straight face or keep from being violently ill! ;)

    Simply to help tell the story where our America went.

    That is about as scary as it sounds... nothing like knowing these various and weasily actors are serving to make sure those who are easily swayed follow the appropriate and right (er, left) thinking maxims of, and will gleefully be the propoganda arm of the politicians.

    Now if you'll pardon me, please, having seen that, I need to take a few moments to forcefully lose my lunch. Thank you.

    I'm an immigrant from behind the iron curtain. Much of what's in this great book I've already lived it. So I guess... I have experience. Oh and yes, I despise collectivists from the bottom of my heart (goes for motivation). Unfortunately I do have an accent :(

    As a retired 32-year Army veteran, I've been around the world and watched our freedom be whittled away by fools more interested in power and control rather than individual freedom. Ayn Rand is the most brilliant individual of our time. I would gladly pay my own way to be a part of this - in any capacity. A dream come true.

    I am currently 15 years of age and have only read Atlas Shrugged and the Fountainhead. I try to spread the objectivist ideals throughout my school to the best of my ability. I consider myself fairly well read for my age, in addition to some experience in filming (for my YouTube channel). Atlas Shrugged has been my favorite novel as of yet. I believe that I, Jake E. Stief, would be well suited to play a role in the production of the film, what ever it may be or mean.

    To what other pinnacle could a fan of John Galt rise other than to have a role in the film?

    Yes! I want to be a part of the legacy! I'm totally qualified; I can pronounce John Aglialoro's name. Plus, my whole life is devoted to helping people achieve freedom personally, professionally, and politically. Can I be in a train sequence?

    Yes, due to the following points.
    1. My love of this country, what’s left of it.
    2. My Judeo-Christian belief(s), i.e. 2nd
    Thessalonians 3:10.
    3. My agreement with Ayn Rand’s
    observations, revelations, and conclusions
    as presented in Atlas Shrugged.
    4. You need an old coot as part of the cast,
    and that -
    5. I think that Genghis Khan was a flaming left
    wing liberal.
    Keep smiling!

    As I have said prior to ASI and ASII, I cannot wait for the next installment, ASIII. As an entrepreneur in Wisconsin who began 30+ Years ago in business, I could not imagine starting a new venture today without resigning myself to a long and winding road compliments of gov regulation.

    I am an older black woman who'd even be willing to play the part of a moocher/consumer. After reading (and audiobooking) AS about four times - or so - I think I've got it.

    If I were told that I could be any extra at all in ASP3, I'd want to be a baker in the gulch, or maybe Midas Mulligan's tobacconist.

    I'm an engineer, MBA, and current solar consultant. Former entrepreneur/business owner and a died-in-the-wool libertarian. I like people who make sense. Sign me up. I'd like to be part of a film that will help wake up and re-energize our great country!

    Surely someone of Italian descent age 62 could be a part of AS3! This would be the ultimate honor!

    I was just thinking... there's that scene in the book.... Under the terminal... with all the employees of TT there to get the system running again without the automated switching gear... ;-)
    To be an extra in III? THAT would be so beyond supercool mindblowing...

    I would love to have the opportunity to be part of this legacy! As someone who lived in an oppressed country, Cuba, and having heard the evil that can be inflicted enables me to understand the real sense of this movie, and current real-life political situations here in our great country! A role in this film would be a tremendous honor for me and my family. I have, and am living the American dream, "Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness"! I want to make sure that my kids and their kids live the same dream.

    I am considering myself quite sufficiently teased!
    (as long as it's a *teaser* and not a *tazer*...That would be quite shocking in itself.)
