I have been reading about promises to make an Atlas Shrugged movie for years and years now. It's one thing after another, but there is always too much conflict over something, and it never gets made.
I would enjoy watching a homemade, backyard, low-budget, digital-videocamera version of the movie, with bad special effects and amateur actors. That wouldn't bother me. They might do a good job of it. If anybody ever hears about a made-in-my-garage version of Atlas Shrugged, I want to watch it. Even if it's a cartoon drawn on the computer or something. We have so much digital technology available to make homemade movies, there is no reason why amateurs can't make Atlas Shrugged and get it over with. In addition, once it's been made by one person, a thousand other people can all still try to make THEIR interpretations of it. Nothing stops people from making the movie again and again with a new style, new locations, new actors, and a new take overall.
An amateur version of Atlas Shrugged would be in the spirit of the movie anyway. Not made by big, corporate, government-owned media corporations, but instead, by ordinary people doing it because they want to.
Some people might say, it's getting bad enough out in the real world that you don't NEED to watch Atlas Shrugged in a movie, you can just look outside.
