In a brief interview with Cinematical, Angelina Jolie provided this update on the upcoming Atlas Shrugged movie:
She had a little more to say about the adaptation of Atlas Shrugged, which is moving forward very slowly, despite having the Plan B powerhouse of Pitt and Jolie behind it. Angelina told me that the project is still on the table, but “the thing with Atlas is just, we all feel that it’s one of those projects where if you can’t do it right, you really can’t touch it. So we have not had all the pieces come together. There’s not been a director that’s right to come on, or all of those elements. So until it does, you know, I certainly don’t want to be a part of something that’s just put together to hit ‘this date.'”
When it comes to Atlas Shrugged, it’s hard to disagree with the perspective that “If you can’t do it right, you really can’t touch it.”
