The odd thing is, in Atlas Shrugged Ayn Rand predicted this would happen… she just didn’t think it happen to her own stuff…
So, this is the “Mort Liddy” version of Atlas Shrugged, it seems like.

What I tried to do, the task I was given, I was given three scripts. Two of the scripts were from people who are active Rand followers. Those people were involved in the first two films. It didn’t work for me so I began a page-one rewrite with one of the producers, Harmon Kaslow. And we agreed that the only way to get something that would appeal to audiences outside the Rand base, was to round the edges off the philosophical bent which she was very strict about.

Yeah. I agree the first two weren’t very good, but this one makes me really wonder about the third one. Maybe Ayn Rand’s ghost will come back to life and blow it up.
