I spoke with Dagny Taggart the other night. “It’s a huge honor to be
part of this film,” said Taylor Schilling, who plays the heroine in
John Aglialoro’s independent production of
Atlas Shrugged.
Tuesday evening, July 20, marked the completion of filming. We caught
up with Aglialoro and his team in a weary but ebullient mood as
shooting wrapped after an intense five-week schedule.
The movie covers Part I of Ayn Rand’s
novel, with two more films in the planning stage to tell the rest of
the story. With six months of editing still to go on “Atlas Shrugged,
Part I,” Aglialoro expects it to be ready for release by next
March—unless it is accepted for Cannes or other major festivals, which
would probably mean a June release.
