Bidinotto Posted September 28, 2007 Share Posted September 28, 2007 We've just received confirmation that the director and producers of the Atlas Shrugged movie project will be joining us at The Atlas Society's gala 50th anniversary celebration of the publication of Ayn Rand's epic novel, on October 6. They will include Michael Burns, the vice chairman of Lionsgate studio, which is producing the film. With him will be producers Howard and Karen Baldwin, the team that gave us the Oscar-winning film Ray, as well as executive producer John Aglialoro, a trustee of The Atlas Society. Also expected is Vadim Perelman, director of House of Sand and Fog, who recently was tapped to direct the film of Rand's masterpiece.They will provide up-to-the-minute news about the status of the project and its progress.Details about the "Atlas 50th" event and registration information are posted on The Atlas Society's website. At the celebration, a host of leading scholars, authors, and achievers will discuss the literary, philosophical, moral, economic, and political aspects of Atlas Shrugged and its impact on our world -- past, present, and future. The keynote speakers are John Stossel of ABC's "20/20" show and noted scholar Charles Murray. Panel moderators will include Nigel Ashford of the Institute for Humane Studies; philosopher Douglas Rasmussen of St. John's University; John Fund of the Wall Street Journal; and Yours Truly. There will also be an afternoon reception nearby at the Cato Institute, featuring Barbara Branden and Nathaniel Branden, who will speak on their recollections of the writing and publication of the novel.If your life and thinking were changed by Atlas Shrugged -- as mine was -- this is a day you won't want to miss.

Bidinotto Posted September 30, 2007 Author Share Posted September 30, 2007 Chris, I understand.Also, I want to take the opportunity to tell the world: The rumors about Angelina and me are NOT true. And I demand that all the papparazzi stop invading our privacy. Have they no SHAME? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
