Michael Stuart Kelly Posted April 23, 2011 Share Posted April 23, 2011 Beck's The Blaze is plugging Atlas Shrugged, Part 1From yesterday (April 21, 2011): 'Atlas Shrugged' – Why Is MSM Silent On This Film's Potential?by Mike Opelka From the article:So why isn't the movie industry doing what it normally does when an independent project manages to make it to the big screen and show the ability to generate what might be called 'competitive' and promising revenue numbers?
