Atlas Shrugged: Part II greenlighted, in theaters next fall

From Reason magazine:

“It’s a poetic moment that today [February 2, 2012] Ayn Rand was born 107 years ago and we are greenlighting Atlas Shrugged: Part II,” announced producer John Aglialoro at Reason Weekend 2012, which was held in San Juan, Puerto Rico. Aglialoro was joined by his partner Harmon Kaslow in making the announcement.

Filming is set to begin in April and the movie will hit theaters this fall, before Election Day. “In October,” said Kaslow, “hopefully we’ll have people from Reason, from FreedomWorks, people who believe in what this book represents, [standing] in front of the…theater to tell people not only how important the movie is but what they’re going to do in November and hopefully effectuate some positive changes.”

    Shooting for ASP2 is beginning today (Apr 2).  The presence of Kip Chalmers suggests the tunnel disaster; Jeff Allen suggests a telling of the story of 20th Century Motor to Dagny; a couple judges suggests the trial of Hank & Ken Danagger. After watching ASP1 numerous times, I hope the new cast can bring more “chemistry” to the set (I liked Taylor Schilling, but she wasn’t as strong as I’d hoped).  New cast is:

    Dagny Taggart/Samantha Mathis

    Hank Rearden/Jason Beghe

    Francisco d’Anconia/Esai Morales

    Dr. Robert Stadler/Robert Picardo

    Mr. Thompson/Ray Wise

    Ken Danagger/Arye Gross

    Conductor/J.P. Manoux

    Lillian Rearden/Kim Rhodes

    Eddie Willers/Richard T. Jones

    Kip Chalmers/Rex Linn

    Jeff Allen/Jeff Yagher

    Wesley Mouch/Paul McCrane

    James Taggart/Patrick Fabian

    Clem Weatherby/Stephen Macht

    Dr. Floyd Ferris/John Rubinstein

    Luke Stone/Mel Fair

    Gilbert Keith Worthing/Gildart Jackson

    Dave Mitchum/Kevin M. Horton

    Reception Guest #1/Martin Grey

    Judge Beckstrom/Kip Gilman

    Judge Griffin/Jordana Capra

    Gwen/Jennifer Cortese
