Man, new line needs to pay up. That's bs.

On another note, I absolutely cannot wait for this movie to be completed.

How do you do it justice without a six hour movie?

But I still want to see it!

Talk about a sure fire way to piss off the Hollywood left!

I'm so excited over it - I realize they can never do it justice, especially considering it's probably my favorite book of all time - but I am just excited that they can bring the ideas in the book to my friends who are too lazy to read the book.

I don't know about you, but reading that book altered my life - I hope that even a modicum of that is projected on those who watch the movie. It's so disappointing to me whenever I want to share an idea from the book with a friend but they are simply too lazy to read it

I took a look at my old hardcover (1957)

The John Galt speech begins on page 1009 and ends on page 1069!

Total book pages 1168

How do you edit that?



That is why New Line said LOR must be three movies!

Atlas Shrugged is actually 3 sections as well, even though it's just one book.
