In an effort to see if IJ was on IMDB, I stumbled across this: Brief Interviews with Hideous Men, clearly fairly far down along the track. What does the mailing list say about this adaptation?

It's being done by Jim from The Office.

wait, "time's arrow" was a TNG episode with mark twain. it was AWESOME.

IHT.com had an interesting piece on why Atlas Shrugged might well fall into the unfilmable category (via ALDaily).

Atlas Shrugged is unfilmable in the way that its terribleness would shatter all cameras that attempted to capture it.

Funny, that's how I felt about Anthem, which I believe could be summed up in one phrase: "Vote Libertarian!" Seriously, who else actually puts leaflets in their novels?

Ha, there's a big parody of Atlas Shrugged in the Illuminatus Trilogy. Maybe you SHOULD read it.
