Atlas Shrugged Movie opens exclusive theatre engagement in Montreal, QC

(Santa Monica), December 2, 2012 - Atlas Productions announced today that the politically charged film adaptation of Ayn Rand’s Atlas Shrugged will be opening in Montreal Quebec in exclusive engagement.

Based on Ayn Rand’s 1957 novel, ATLAS SHRUGGED: PART 1 is set in the near future when a dystopian United States finds its leading innovators, from industrialists to artists, mysteriously disappearing at an alarming rate resulting in the "stopping the motor of the world."

Harmon Kaslow, Producer of the film stated “We’re very excited to be playing in Quebec. We’ve got a lot of really great supporters in Montreal and we couldn’t be happier to finally deliver Atlas.”

Atlas Shrugged Part 1 opens in Montreal this Friday evening at the AMC Forum 22 Theatre located at 2313 St. Catherine St. West Suite 101, Montréal, QC, Canada. For theatre and ticket information, please visit: http://www.AtlasShruggedMovie.com/theaters

Part 2 is expected to follow in 2012. The Part 1 DVD and Blu-ray are available for purchase at: http://www.AtlasShruggedMovie.com/merchandise

ATLAS SHRUGGED Inadvertently Releases Collector’s Item

Error on Atlas Shrugged DVD and Blu-Ray slips through cracks, ends up on retail shelves.

(Santa Monica), November 11, 2011 - Atlas Productions LLC announced today its plan to replace more than 100,000 title sheets appearing on the Atlas Shrugged Part 1 DVD and Blu-ray versions sold through major retail outlets. These retail versions were packaged with an inaccurate synopsis of Atlas Shrugged. Not affected were the “Special Edition” versions sold online at AtlasShruggedMovie.com.

The 1957 novel, Atlas Shrugged, is known in philosophical and political circles for presenting a cogent argument advocating a society driven by rational self-interest. On the back of the film's retail DVD and Blu-ray however, the movie’s synopsis contradictorily states “AYN RAND’s timeless novel of courage and self-sacrifice comes to life...

“It’s embarrassing for sure and of course, regardless of how or why it happened, we’re all feeling responsible right now.” says Scott DeSapio, Atlas Productions’ COO and Communications Director “You can imagine how mortified we all were when we saw the DVD but, it was simply too late - the product was already on shelves all over the Country. It was certainly no surprise when the incredulous emails ensued. The irony is inescapable.”

DeSapio continued “Ultimately, the responsibility falls on us, Atlas Productions. We are putting policies in place now to ensure we avoid these types of unforced errors in the future.”

Harmon Kaslow, CEO of Atlas Productions and Producer of the film stated “As we all well know, the ideas brought to life in Atlas Shrugged are entirely antithetical to the idea of ‘self-sacrifice’ as a virtue. Atlas is quite literally a story about the dangers of self-sacrifice. The error was an unfortunate one and fans of Ayn Rand and Atlas have every right to be upset... and we have every intention of making it right.”

John Aglialoro, Chairman and owner of Atlas Productions stated, “We needed to quickly correct this mistake and I’m pleased we did.”

Kaslow added, “To those that purchased the flawed cover, congratulations are in order. You’ve inadvertently got yourself a real collector’s item there."

Atlas Productions has setup a web page for consumers of the DVD to request a replacement title sheet free of charge: http://www.AtlasShruggedMovie.com/title-sheet. The new title sheet will more accurately read “AYN RAND’s timeless novel of rational self-interest comes to life...

Rand’s 1,100 page bestselling book is being produced by Atlas Productions as a trilogy which follows the three part structure of the novel. Part 1 was released theatrically in USA on April 15, 2011. Part 2 is expected to follow in 2012.

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.
