As a fan of Atlas Shrugged, I have to say, I'm impressed. They've got a great Rearden and Mulligan from the looks of it.

Probably both, but not in the same way at the same time.

Several Facebook Comments on the trailer--

#
The trailer sux. The only people who are going to get excited about that are Randroids. People are going to wonder wtf the movie is about. I'm wondering, and I read the book. Is it supposed to be a teaser? I would think there's enough action in the story to stick some of it in the trailer instead of having them talking about business. Hell-- show some disaster shit like the horrible train crash caused by stupid bureaucrats trying to ignore reality. Show the Armageddon by gubment shit going down. Show a teasing glimpse of some amazing view of the Gulch or something.

#
Also, so far I'm not feelin' it from those actors. Some key lines of extra boldness from these titans would have been inspiring as well. Show them saying something outrageous but true to the dumbass looters. Ima watch it again and see if I'm being hypercritical.

Oh, Part I?! Oh...

dear.

Umm, this isn't an action flick...Also, there are lines of boldness: the initial offer to Mulligan by Galt, the "my goal is to make money" line by Rearden, and a few more. My vote is hypercritical.

The book had a lot of action in it and all movies are action flicks to some extent.  What I mean by that is the medium is particularly visual, obviously compared to a book but even more so than a play where your settings and effects are very limited.  You will always hear film types say to show it, don't say it.  Less dialogue, more stuph going on on the screen.  This book in particular may be a challenge because it's full of characters monologing for several pages straight.

FWIW though, I didn't realize the movie was in three parts when I wrote those first two comments.  There is a lot less action in the first thirdish of the book as it ramps up very slowly.  Unfortunately, this is the movie that needs to grab people and make them want to see the other two.  And I caught that line and that it was supposed to be one of those bold lines but it's also part of what made me feel unimpressed with the acting.  These people aren't selling themselves to me as bold and daring titans of industry.

It's only two minutes.  Maybe the movie will be better than the trailer makes it look.  It's just not looking optimistic because the trailer should have some of the best shots from the movie.  But there will be better opportunities for the actors to prove me wrong.  This trailer is not going to be very effective except when preaching to the choir, IMHO.

Yeah, unless you've read the book, it's gonna be near impossible to understand what the flick is about from watching that trailer.

From a thread on another site -

Quote
Hmm. Help please.

I've (obviously) not read the books, so...

Is this a movie about a brother and a sister who run a railroad company and pit steel companies against each other so they pay less for their steel and make more money on the railroads?

If so, what's the big deal?


After I explained to him what the story was about...

Quote
Nope. It's about gooberment repeatedly cracking down on people who are competing for marketshare and taxing the shit out of them.

The brother is a commie pro gooberment asshole who is shooting himself in the foot throughout the whole story.

Also, steel companies are using FUD to get the gooberment to ban a new, super light, super strong, fairly cheap alloy because they can't compete.

He said this:

Quote
Oh, that is actually kinda interesting.

So yeah, they aren't conveying the concept very well.

<<<Will still see it.

Wow, looks good. I do think they will make it into a business people are greedy scum movie though, or at least some socialist media hack will get that meme going.
