We want parts 2 and 3 made.
We want parts 2 and 3 made. Start a website now were we can donate to the making of those movies. We get what we want and you have direct funding. If someone gives a large enough amount your financial guys can talk to them about being an actual investor. Millions of people want this movie made if we each gave $5 you would have at least 5-10 million to spend on the next movie

For John Galt's 70 page speech.
I suggest to make a brief speech in the movie, and, in the DVD, have the full speech available. I also suggest to have the speech available on a website after the release of the movie. Keep the speech in the movie to a minimum and have the full speech on a website and the DVD..

Rachmaninoff
How can Rachmaninoff's music be omitted from the movie trilogy? E.G., his Prelude in G Minor (or parts thereof) would've been the ideal theme for the inaugural run of the John Galt Line. For god sakes, don't make the same mistake for parts II and III. The 2nd Rach, first movement is the musical essence of struggle, capitulation and achievement. Come on guys, wake up!

Make it serious, brooding, epic
For example, why are "Batman Begins" and "The Dark Knight" so amazing? They made Batman serious. No more cartoon silliness. He deals with moral, ethics, etc. Deep, dark, real issues. It is SO epic, so profound, based on simple human nature. PLEASE make the next two just that..dark and serious. Her novel reflects a time in history that is in need of massive heroes. People that are introspective, dramatic, thoughtful. The world is crumbling, and they must act. They are suffering under everyone's weight, and they decide to shrug.

Free "Who is John Galt?" bumber stickers.
You should pass out free bumper stickers at theater that simply ask "Who is John Galt?" as well as billboards, T-shirts, and electronic media floods.

Focus on entertainment, not pedantic instruction.
Let the movie reflect the entertainment, excitement, mystery, plot, and themes of the novel. Let the novel sell the philosophy. Pedantic efforts go by too fast for the uninitiated to digest. This was a problem for "The Fountainhead" movie, which did not significantly draw people to the novel or create word of mouth excitement.

The speech shold be done in its entirety, but in peices throughout parts 2 and 3.
The speech shold be done in its entirety, but in peices throughout parts 2 and 3. Beginning near the end of part 2 - giving "hope". Part 3 should be about the speech. Perhaps the speech as a background, running theme. No one but us fanatics is going to sit through one speech lasting over an hour unless there are great visual that go along with it. Good Luck!

Be Bold. Do the Full Speech!
Do the full speech. Don't discount the human mind here; a challenge maybe, but I'm sure a smart and inspired cinematographic talent will figure out a way. Interpose, flash backs, flash forwards, flash sideways, music, visuals, pauses, zooms, pans, action-juxstoposition (just made that up)...It's doable. Done right, it will be the highlight of the entire movie - in fact that should, in truth, be the aim and the requirement! When people walk away, they think of the story's climax and ending sure - but the takeaway---it's the speech! No, they won't remember a fraction of its content, but they will… more

Political Heat...
As intrigue and suspense builds, a careless comment leads to suspicion of a high level cover-up within the Federal Government. At each turn, the threads of conspiracy unravel more and more, involving collusion with a Supreme Court Justice (who is more concerned about adulterous past than truth and justice), and the deceitful president (who has his detractors "disappear"). Lots of twists and turns, plus a total surprise ending that NOBODY sees coming...

You will kill the movie if you do JG's entire speech!
You will kill the movie if you do the entire speech! In the end you will connect more people to Ayn Rand's epic work if you condense the speech.

Sell shares of stock for parts 2 & 3.
Shares of stock for parts 2 & 3 could pay the share holders a residual income over time. This would give investors an incentive to bring capital in. A board of directors would manage it. Risk is the price of opportunity!

Let Objectivists be background actors
I'd give almost anything to appear for even just an instant in the background for any scene. This series is like Gone With The Wind for our generation.

Have the speech be 20-25 minutes
As a part of a (I hope) 3-hour-long PART 3, Galt's speech should be about 20-25 minutes. I think that's long enough to promote selfishness without boring the audience.

Let us help advertise!
Let us know when part 2 is going to be coming out as soon as you have a general idea, so that we can start putting the word out there! I, for one, didn't know that Part 1 was coming out until a month or so before, so I couldn't start facebooking about it until then!
