Test4VitalSigns Posted November 9, 2004 Share Posted November 9, 2004 Rumor has it there will be a remake of Ayn Rand's "Fountainhead" with Brad Pitt playing lead role and with Oliver stone directing...I've always wanted to see the original movie with gary Cooper (1949 I believe) ...This is the story in which Neil based 2112 on so I've heard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sweetmiracle Posted November 9, 2004 Share Posted November 9, 2004 They'll probably rip the story to shreds first... 2112 is based on the Ayn Rand book 'Anthem', which is the story of a man in a future dystopian society who discovers electricity, tries to present it to the elders, then has to flee for his life. The society is so communistic that saying the word 'I' will get the person executed. I'm looking forward to what will probably be a mini-series based on 'Atlas Shrugged".

Equality 7-2521 is like a less developed Howard Roark... then there's Hank Reardon... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
