If Duke Nukem Forever is the story of how to not make a video game, then Atlas Shrugged is surely how to not make a movie. Here is the story of many almosts that sound much more promising than what ultimately occurs. This guy Aglialoro buys 20 years worth of rights to make the movie and waits till the last few months to start...sounds like the time line for many science fair projects. Anyways, 1 3rd of the story will be released in limited theaters and will be marketed towards christians and mormans as conservative propaganda (never mind than Rand was a devout atheist). It is directed by one of the best directors they could find...a guy who has directed nothing but did star in episodes of 'One Tree Hill'. I'm tempted to seek out this movie if for no other reason than - how often do you get to buy tickets to a prescheduled train wreck.

I hope Orson Scott Card is paying attention. Mr. Scott Card...I have so much respect for you, but please give someone else at least some creative control over an Ender's Game movie because someday you will be dead and then you will have no control. Do really want your story to be brought to the big screen by snooki and the situation?
