Atlas Shrugged II Director's Mother, Jean Stapleton, Passes Away


Jean Stapleton, mother of Atlas Shrugged Part II Director, John Putch, died Friday at the age of 90.

“Our hearts are with John. His mother was an inspiration to all of us.“ said Atlas Shrugged Producer Harmon Kaslow.

Although Jean was 48 when she became famous as Edith Bunker in "All in the Family," by the time that landmark sitcom premiered in 1971, she had been already acting for 30 years on the stage, in movies and on television.


The son of renowned actress Jean Stapleton and the late producer/director William H. Putch, John Putch is often referred to as an independent film maverick.  One of his first indie efforts, "Valerie Flake," landed him at the '99 Sundance Film Festival and was nominated for an Independent Spirit Award.

Atlas Shrugged Producer Says Atlas Not For Everyone

Recently, Atlas Shrugged Producer Harmon Kaslow was asked who the movie is for. Following is his response...

"While Ayn Rand’s heroes speak to the individual in all of us, they do not speak for everyone. Ayn Rand’s heroes are men and women from all walks of life - sculptors, musicians, plumbers, steel workers, architects, industrialists - if you enjoy your work and do it well, if you constantly strive to be better, if you work hard every day, you will LOVE Atlas.

However, if you feel a sense of entitlement - as in the government owes you something - simply because you exist, Atlas is not a story for you. You are whom we are warning against."

Atlas Shrugged Movie Reaches 100,000 Facebook Fans

The Atlas Shrugged Part 2 Movie Facebook Page Surpasses 100,000 Likes on Facebook

(Hollywood, CA) - September 19th, 2012 - Atlas Shrugged Part 2 Productions announced today that it has surpassed 100,000 Facebook Likes.

“Being an independent film company, reaching 100,000 Facebook fans was a huge milestone for us. Community support around the film has been tremendous.”  said Atlas Productions’ Chief Technology Officer Scott DeSapio.

“With the recent nomination of Paul Ryan, Ayn Rand’s name has been more and more in the spotlight recently. We’re very happy to see Ayn Rand’s ideas finally making their way to the mainstream.” commented Harmon Kaslow, Producer of Atlas Shrugged Part II.

“For those that have read the book, while Atlas Shrugged Part II the movie may not be the movie that’s been playing in everyone’s head since closing the back cover, it is without question a celebration of Ayn Rand’s ideas.” continued Kaslow.

With the recent release of the film’s trailer on YouTube, Atlas Shrugged Part 2 continues to pick up steam as it heads to theaters nationwide October 12th. For more information, visit the movie’s official web site at www.AtlasShruggedMovie.com.
