message: :Perelman told us that he's finished with the script and just doing a polish on his rewrites but that Lionsgate has told him they want to move forward and start preparing the film in the fall to shoot in December, dependent on the script being in the right place by then. 
Sounds like it's going pretty well thus far. -- Stormwatch (talk) 03:15, 16 April 2008 (UTC)

The author of the article, Kim Voynar reports this with Perelman himself as source. Sorry I don't have time to update this article right now -- also the Ayn Rand article still has Perelman on the project as I write this.—Blanchette (talk) 04:54, 28 August 2008 (UTC)

"Atlas Shrugged, Ayn Rand’s fourth and final novel, is said to be the second-most influential book ever published, trailing only the Bible." – NBC-San Diego 06/21/2010
Sales of Atlas Shrugged have reportedly increased dramatically since the US financial crisis began in September 2008." – SCIFI WIRE 07/22/2009
From 1972 to 1999, Albert S. Ruddy, the producer of The Godfather, tried unsuccessfully to bring Atlas Shrugged to film and then television. – NEW YORK TIMES 01/14/2007 
Actresses who sought or were sought for the role of Dagny Taggart in the past have included Barbara Stanwyck, Faye Dunaway, Raquel Welch, Farrah Fawcett, Sharon Stone, Julia Roberts, Charlize Theron, Anne Hathaway, and Angelina Jolie.
The original title of Atlas Shrugged was The Strike.
"The Award-winning 2007 dystopian video game BioShock was heavily influenced by Atlas Shrugged, with the in-game location Rapture being a version of Galt’s Gulch, a character named Atlas, and then name of another character, Andrew Ryan, being a play on Ayn Rand’s name."
"Sales of the 1957 philosophy novel, written by the late Ayn Rand, enjoyed a major resurgence over an 18-month period that coincided with pivotal economic moments.  Such is the modern-day fascination, according to The Economist, that the book's sales rank on Amazon climbed more than 500 places in the book charts over a two-year period, eclipsing such rival tomes as Barack Obama's The Audacity of Hope. The report said: "The first jump, in September 2007, followed dramatic interest-rate cuts by central banks, and the Bank of England's bail-out of Northern Rock.  "The October 2007 rise happened two days after the Bush Administration announced an initiative to coax banks to assist subprime borrowers.  "A year later, sales of the book rose after America's Treasury said that it would use a big chunk of the $700 billion Troubled Asset Relief Program to buy stakes in nine large banks."  The publication said that Mr. Obama's stimulus plan gave the book another sales boost in January."  – TELEGRAPH Mark Coleman  03/2009

message: This Apr 1 article in WP says it's $1.5m whereas Hollywood Reporter claims it's $1.1m. Any ideas? Or let "over $1 million" be. Last Contrarian (talk) 19:24, 27 April 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: If the sources disagree on the specific amount but both agree it was over $1 million, then the vaguer statement is preferable. --RL0919 (talk) 12:20, 29 April 2011 (UTC)

message: Part II has just been confirmed, fall 2012.  --Stormwatch (talk) 17:47, 8 June 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Not really confirmed. The website is confirmed, but the film isn't - no announcements of shooting schedule, actors, director, etc. have been made yet. Many a film has gotten to this stage and fallen through, and I can't imagine studios exactly rushing to fund the sequel of such a notorious flop. Goodwinsands (talk) 17:51, 10 June 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: The movie is independently funded, so there is no reason for studios to be rushing to fund it, since they won't be.  Approx. release date announced.  Previous movie was shot very quickly after cast and schedule was announced.Jrclark (talk) 11:15, 17 June 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: The producers are on record saying the second film will only be made if the first film shows a profit. It is currently a very long way from showing a profit; the US release is 100% over, international box office will be minor at best, DVD take won't be enough to get it out of a deep, deep hole. Part II does not have "independent funding"; it has no funding at all, and won't unless Part I makes the profit it's clearly not on the path to making. Goodwinsands (talk) 14:00, 17 June 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Where did you read that DVD sales are expected to be weak?   Who is to say that it won't be like Joss Whedon's Serenity, where the box office was weak, but then the DVDs pulled it out of the red and into the black? BobbieCharlton (talk) 14:24, 17 June 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: That's a comparatively rare occurance, though. Most theatrical flops stay DVD flops. Sure, there is the occasional exception, but the odds are pretty long. Goodwinsands (talk) 17:12, 19 June 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Part II confirmed 

message: This article was requested for assessment back in May (sorry for the delay). After reading the article and making some minor fixes, I've assessed the article as C class. To continue on to B-class, a few areas need to be improved.
#Expand the score section if possible, it is currently only a single sentence. Mention any reviews that comment on it or if it received any accolades.
#The writing section should be sourced.
#The Internet Movie Database is cited within the article; as this website is not accepted for citing material, a more reliable source should be provided to replace all instances.
#The citations should be formatted to include all available parameters such as title, author, work, date, etc. Many of the citations meet this, but a few include just the title or even url.
When the above issues are addressed the article can automatically be assessed as B class, or, if desired, please contact me on my talk page and I'll reassess the article. Good work on improving the article so far. --Happy editing! Nehrams2020 (talk • contrib) 04:24, 29 June 2011 (UTC)

thread_title: WP:FILM Assessment

message: There is a revert war on the page, Anon insisting on the above adjective, as he says in the Change Summary that the love scene in the movie is not random or gratuitous but reflects a growing bond between the protagonists.  That's worth saying, but the love scene is not especially "passionate"--in fact, it is more often described in skeptical reviews as "fully clothed" or "poorly acted." Perhaps compromise wording is in order. Spike-from-NH (talk) 10:48, 28 April 2012 (UTC)
