Atlas Shrugged as a Movie?

Disclosure: I have not read Atlas Shrugged. I've read a few of Rand's essays, but none of her novels. Atlas Shrugged is on my list, but I've just never gotten around to it.

Arthur Silber has an interesting post concerning a possible upcoming film version here.

First I'd heard of it.

"Second most influential book" behind only the Bible? I think I'd better break down & read the book.
