This movie is one of those things you almost want left alone is they don't get it absolutely right. They need to have the process driven by someone obsessively insane about detail, someone that really understands these characters, otherwise it will be crap.
If they hire some arsehole that thinks about the characters purely in terms of outfits and merchandising opportunities, it will annoy me enormously.
I'd love to see Atlas Shrugged made into a film, but the same logic applies: is Hollywood capable of making something like this, or is it only capable of making Hollywood-type films?
And if it is done properly, are mainstream audiences capable of appreciating it? My instinctive reaction is no. If they were, this book would have been mainstream by now. It is still sub-culture. Even, sub-sub-culture.
