but for both of them, Pitt and Jolie, they really want to have this movie made and I think they will make it even if their schedules don't work out for acting in it. I am confident that Jolie can do a great Dagny, if she's in the mood to. I think Pitt would be a good John Galt because Galt is, ultimately, a minor character with little "screen time", though I think Pitt may want to play Rearden. Her brilliant management style and unwavering commitment to the railroad enable her to remain in the world of the lootersRand’s word for the people and government agencies that seize property from capitalistsand to keep her railroad running despite the growing chaos. So long as they don't get Antonio Banderas for Francisco, I'm up for it. Dagny is Galt’s greatest love and worst enemy. The book is, of course, quite long, but there is a lot of it that can be lost- many of the sub-plots about various businesses who shrugged and secondary and tertiary characters can be lost.


Though there has been some talk of doing it as two movies, or a trilogy like the Lord of the rings, I believe the script now is a single movie. BEG has been consulting with luminaries from The Objectivist Center (NOT the Ayn Rand institute, which would be bad news for the movie) and they have been working for about a decade on a shorter script, with three-part miniseries versions that Turner was going to produce, and now a single moview version that will be reportedly 3 hours long. Plan B is pitts development company, and Baldwin Entertainment Group are the ones with the rights. I'm not getting my hopes up until its greenlit.
