Weigh in on the New Atlas Shrugged Movie
Ayn Rand's masterpiece Atlas Shrugged is just under 1200 pages. And, no matter how hard we try, there is simply no way to squeeze it all into a single movie verbatim.
Now that preliminary work has begun on the new Atlas Shrugged movie, there are some tough decisions to be made before things can really get underway. One of which is, what storylines from the book would be considered not critical to Ayn Rand's message as a whole?
So, you tell us, what scenes can be left out and still result in a movie that does Rand's message justice?

They need to get those main characters from Part 2 to act in the new movie. That would be perfect for me.
That's where the balance comes in; we need to get as many 'good' souls together as possible to strengthen the resolve of this 'Great Experiment' know as these United States of America.
I do not know the answer; I believe no one truly does..but, which crossroads do you take?
Characters can't demand higher salary's after the 1st or 2nd season.
This process is a movie type production which the director runs the whole season; knowing their episode cut offs which are split out in the film room.
This form would make for a better show because the Actors remain 'strong' in their characters during the complete filming making for a much higher believability for the viewer; giving the series higher ratings.
It could take a '3 movie' filming which should last no more than 3 months each with a one month break [hopefully negotiated down to less time off to keep the 'flow' of the characters at a high level]
I prefer NetFlix, Amazon Prime over Cable or Satellite but that choice is a balance between audience size and monetary return.
We must remember to realize that the more young progressive minds we can reach the greater the conversion to a true Founders republic will can ascertain.
Fight on Freedom Fighters...FIGHT ON!
The first ride on the John Galt Line.
Dagny's entry into the coffee shop after her conversation with Akston. "I won't stop looking…" and the man she's looking for is sitting right there. I love dramatic irony. My eyes well up every time I watch this scene.
Rearden's first meeting with Leonard Small
Francisco's interaction with the party goers at James Taggart's wedding.
Dagny's conversation with Jeff Allen. I can feel her mind working, putting all the pieces together. Another case of damp eyes for me.
"What are your demands? Nothing,…."
Galt's meeting with Thompson.
.
"If your new metal works…." She has already viewed the specs and knows it will "work".
"If I get nothing…" Rearden has been given a "generous" offer from the SSI. He needs another reason for refusing the order, something like "I don't do business with looters."
"You're my forever." Surely there's a better way to word this. I felt embarrassed for Dagny when she said it.
It would be better at the end of Part I if Galt's words were exactly what he said earlier to Wyatt.
The end of Part II and the review at beginning of Part III should have been the same.
"So you invented the motor?" Dagny has already figured out who Galt is in her conversation with Jeff Allen.
Rudeness in disconnecting James during his phone calls. Yeah, he's a looter, but she could still treat him civilly. Acting in an uncivil way reduces the attractiveness of her character.
Throwing the porch furniture carelessly onto the lawn. There's never any excuse for trashing perfectly good stuff. If she doesn't want it any more, give it to someone who might appreciate it.
Dagny's calling for volunteers to take the first run on the John Galt Line.
Dagny's radio "confession" to her affair with Rearden.
Lillian discovering that Hank has divorced her with zero assets.
