New 'We the Living' Movie Site

Duncan Scott Productions has launched a new web site for the We the Living movie, which includes historical information about the movie as well as a link to purchase the video via PayPal.
The Atlasphere recently published a two-part interview with Duncan Scott, wherein he talks extensively about his experiences releasing the movie in America, with Ayn Rand’s approval and guidance.
…Stay tuned for developing news about the big screen re-release of We the Living in San Francisco next month.

Film Rights Acquired to Rand's Anthem

This comes via Iris Bell:
Rights have been acquired to the Ayn Rand novel Anthem. Jim Snider and Kerry O’Quinn are co-writing the screenplay for theatrical production.
At one time, choreographer Agnes DeMille, and later Russian expatriate Rudolph Nureyev, liked the idea of turning Anthem into a ballet. Walt Disney even expressed interest in developing the novel as an animated film, but Anthem never made it to stage or screen. That is all about to change.
Writer/Producer Jim Snider’s most recent film is Hope Ranch, starring Bruce Boxleitner (Tron, Babylon-5), Lorenzo Lamas (Falcon Crest, Renegade) and Gail O’Grady (NYPD Blue, American Dreams).
Writer/Producer Kerry O’Quinn built a New York magazine empire including Starlog and Fangoria, produced soundtrack albums, and developed a sci-fi series for HBO.
Pre-production is slated to begin in 2004.
For more information, contact Kerry O’Quinn or Jim Snider.

Screenwriter for Atlas Shrugged Movie

Anyone interested in the latest attempt to create an Atlas Shrugged movie will enjoy reading Box Office Mojo’s interview with James V. Hart, who was hired earlier this year to write the script.
From the interview:

“I hated [Atlas Shrugged] in college,” the 56-year-old New Yorker admitted. “It was the peace and love era and the values of the time weren’t consistent with Ayn Rand’s philosophy. Years later, I read it again and it blew me away. I’ve read it four times in the last six months.”
What changed Hart’s mind?
“We’re on the threshold of what Ayn Rand predicted,” he noted. “Socialism has crept into everything and we’re penalizing the thinkers, the movers and shakers for being successful. In a way, the world that Ayn Rand created in Atlas Shrugged is the United States today.”
