Stuff about Ayn Rand

Check out this link from Gawker which talks about some movie exec's quest to make Ayn Rand's Atlas Shrugged. None other than Angelina Jolie would star as Dagny Taggart.

He is also trying to make The Fountainhead which would (not coincidentally?) star Brad Pitt as Howard Roark.

I'm down! I can't see how they would make a movie worthy of these two books, but I applaud the effort. They have already once turned The Fountainhead into a movie, in 1949, starring Gary Cooper.
