D'Anconia - if only Ricardo Montalban was young again. But for now I'd pick Christian Bale.
ETA: can they get Barney Frank to play Wesley Mouch? If not, Joe Pesci. |

I would rather they didn't. Hollywood will piss on the meaning behind the book. Probably make Dagny, John, Francisco, and Ragnar into the villians and the bureaucrats into good guys pushing healthcare reform and global warming horseshit.

I thought I heard a while ago that Angelina Jolie was being eyed as Dagny Taggart. She seems to me that she could play the strong independent and intelligent woman. Maybe Antonio Banderas as d'Anconia and Russel Crowe as Hank Rearden.

That said, if the guys who did "American Carol" could get their hands on it, it might turn out alright. I think it would make a better HBO type series than a movie, I don't think you could do the story justice in 2-3 hours. PTK |

IMO, Banderas is too obvious for D'Anconia. His look is perfect, TOO perfect, and I don't think that as an actor he has a grasp on the subtlety required for the role. I'd even say an Anthony Hopkins would fit, but he's way too old now. How about Tom Sizemore for James Taggart? Or, even James Gandolfini for Wesley Mouch? |

Quoted: It's looking like Charlize Theron will play Dagny Taggart. I can't say I can think of anyone better, though I'm not exactly thrilled with the choice. I think Gary Sinise or Viggo Mortinson would be good for Ragnar Danneskjold. Leaves a lotta openings, fill em in. GO! My prediction is it would be 12 hours long terribly boring, but still have a great message. |

Charlize is more like Lilian Rearden, hot blond + giant libtard.
Russell Crowe would be a great Hank Rearden, "unyeilding face" 
Mathew McConaughey might be a good John Galt but he really should be portrayed by a newer/lesser known actor to maintain the “secret” throughout the movie. Maybe Josh Hartnett? 
Anne Hathaway would be a good Dagny but a little young. She is supposed to be in her mid 30's and very thin. Hilary Swank would work too and is the right age.  
Orlando Bloom as Francisco, Ayn Rand pictured Errol Flynn as Fransisco 
James Spader as James Taggart 
Brian Dennehy or someone that is built like him for Midas Mulligan 
Damian Lewis would be a good Ragnar Danneskjold 
Ed Ansner at that fat "F" Orren Boyle 
Sean Penn as Weasley Mouch 
Richard Dreyfus as the “head of state”

You know this will be an epic fuckup just from the fact that to keep the movie honest with the book it would have to be at least 6 hours long. No way Hollywood does that. I can see Crowe as Rearden though and maybe Bale as Galt.
