Angelina Jolie to Star in Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand

[bestsynd]

Angelina Jolie will play her dream role as Dagney Taggart in the up-coming film “Atlas Shrugged” written by the late Ayn Rand. “Atlas Shrugged”, perhaps the most famous book written by Rand, is a tale of a no-nonsense railroad executive named Dagney Taggart who strives to keep her company alive despite a society falling towards collectivism.

Rand’s novels are extremely long, and “Atlas Shrugged” is no exception. Another one of Rand’s books was made into a movie while she was alive. “The Fountainhead”, staring Gary Cooker and Patricia Neal was released in 1949.

A famous line repeated over and over again in the book is “Who is John Galt?”
