Atlas Shrugged II

I received my Atlas Shrugged I & II yesterday. I thoroughly enjoyed I; however, i was very disappointed with the different cast in II. The first cast had vitality, but the second cast seemed rather bland. I don't know why a different cast was chosen, but i believe it was a major error. I still enjoyed the movie and i do realize just how difficult making a movie from one of Ayn Rands books can be. I have also viewed The Fountainhead and would somehow like to obtain a copy of that one as well

The new cast grew on me a bit as I watched, but I'm curious as to the reason(s) for the change. My guess would be that they couldn't find actors willing to commit to 3 films of which have subject matter so against the grain of establishment-hollywood. I'm sure they would be concerned with being blackballed.| Permalink

Used the movies to catch my husband up since he never read AS and didn't like the reader in the audio version I have. Didn't realize part two didn't go to the end tho, so now he is anxiously awaiting part iii.| Permalink
