"Atlas Shrugged" Ex-Director Suing the FilmPosted: June 15th, 2010 by WorstPreviews.com Staff
|
 
We recently reported that a feature film based on Ayn Rand's "Atlas Shrugged" novel has finally began filming. But instead of having Stephen Polk direct it, as previously intended, the decision was made to replace him with "One Tree Hill" star Paul Johansson.
Polk contacted Deadline is express his disappointment and reveal that he has hired an attorney to fight this. He said he could tell things were going awry when the budget began climbing as he tried to do justice to the book and attach such names as Angelina Jolie and Charlize Therone to play Dagny Taggart. The actresses were replaced by Taylor Schilling ("Mercy").
"I had some real names seriously interested, but it had to be a real feature film, and I feel like I had the rug pulled out from under me," said Polk. "When we talked about cast, even B-list cast, they were like, 'we don't need names.' It was great material, people were interested, but there were red flags. It's devastating to me. They replaced me with a TV actor, this has TV written all over it. They've fired other people. I was trying to embrace the spirit of 'Atlas Shrugged,' and it will be interesting to see if they can still pull it off."

sounds like a made for tv movie, which is probably best. audiences aren't going to pay to sit through this boring crap. I'm not even sure it can be socially relevant anymore. Some novels should just remain novels.

I'm predicting one of WP's next atricles:
Brett Ranter suing Warner Bros. for not letting him direct 'The Hobbit'.
All Ranter had to say was: 'There hasn't been an amazing film since 'Fred Claus'. Warner Bros can kiss my butt. They are bullies, I don't like it. I'm calling my daddy'.
