[Atlasphere] Perelman on Atlas Shrugged movie

[O-Land News Junkie]

In an interview with ReelzChannel, Vadim Perelman says of his Atlas Shrugged script: “I was really true to the book and they said that I solved it, finally. Not my words. I didn’t feel I did, but they really liked it a lot.”

Perelman doesn’t say who “they” are, but one would assume (and hope) that at least one of the “they” is David Kelley, founder and senior fellow of The Atlas Society, who has been working with Perelman, The Baldwin Entertainment Group, and Lionsgate to insure philosophical fidelity to the novel.

There isn’t a whole lot more in the interview, but the rest of it is here.

I found this sad and hilarious at the same time:

... Atlas Shrugged, Ayn Rand's 1957 novel about a female railroad magnate, Dagny Taggart, who is struggling to keep her company afloat.

That's not really what the book is about.
