The trailer for part one of Atlas Shrugged has been released, an attempt to adapt Ayn Rand’s sprawling novel.
We’ve embedded the trailer above–what do you think? Is it possible to film Rand’s massive book?
The film’s site outlines the plot: “Dagny Taggart (Taylor Schilling) runs Taggart Transcontinental, the largest remaining railroad company in America, with intelligence, courage and integrity, despite the systematic disappearance of her best and most competent workers. She is drawn to industrialist Henry Rearden (Grant Bowler), one of the few men whose genius and commitment to his own ideas match her own. Rearden’s super-strength metal alloy, Rearden Metal, holds the promise that innovation can overcome the slide into anarchy.”
