A brief message from John A. on Steve Jobs

A message from John Aglialoro, Producer of Atlas Shrugged... 

In 2005, Steve Jobs gave a commencement address to the graduating students at Stanford:

“Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma - which is living with the results of other people's thinking. Don't let the noise of other's opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.”

Ayn Rand couldn't have said it better.

SNEAK PEAK: "I am John Galt." DVD Special Feature

On March 25th, 2011, I asked you to get in front of you camera and simply state "I am John Galt." for a chance at being on the DVD. You did and now, you are. This is just a sneak peak of the more than 1400 videos included on the upcoming DVD.

"I am John Galt." Video Wall

Within the next week or so, we'll have a real sneak peak of the "I am John Galt." DVD special feature to show off but first, a little primer...



No, this is not taken directly from the DVD - it's just a web plug-in displaying everyone's responses. Stay tuned for the real thing soon.

Also, please note that while the vast majority of the videos presented on this wall did in fact make it to the DVD, there were a few that didn't make it due to some technical gotchas. If you were cut, we'll make it up to you on the next one.

A is A. The Official Atlas Shrugged Movie Blog is here.

Welcome to the new OFFICIAL Atlas Shrugged Movie Blog. We've been extremely busy since the theatrical release of Part 1 and have much to discuss but, before we get started, a word from our sponsor...

"The question isn't who is going to let me; it's who is going to stop me."
- Ayn Rand

A New Domain - THE Domain

AtlasShruggedMovie.com. Ahhhh. Feels better right? Say it out loud: "ATLAS SHRUGGED MOVIE DOT COM." FINALLY. After many months of wrangling, we got it - our domain is finally our domain. If that doesn't make any sense, don't worry too much about it. If it does make sense, please first make your way to a semi-isolated area before throwing your hands up, jumping in the air for joy, and screaming at the top of your lungs - we Randians have an image to uphold.

A New Blog - THE Blog

When putting together our online presence for Part 1, we had to prioritize, build quick and get the fundamentals done without hesitation. We did. Now that we can take a breather... a blog is born.

As AtlasShruggedPart1.com took some time to evolve, so will this blog - give us a minute before you start throwing the tomatoes. ;)

Note: We added all of the old press releases for the sake of posterity and to give the blog a little foundational content so, don't expect to find too much you haven't seen already. Stay tuned - new stuff is on the way.

The new DVD is here! The new DVD is here!

Well... almost here. But, you know what? Our friends over at 20th Century Fox gave us one more HUGE reason to smile with the signing of our brand new shiny DVD/Blu-Ray distribution deal. Can distribution deals be shiny? Yes. Yes they can.

September 2nd

September 2nd? Did someone say something about September 2nd? I'm sure they did. This September 2nd? It must have been important because I have a note right here that says... that says... "Who is John Galt?"
