Relativity Media Considers Atlas Shrugged Movie
April 3, 2009In a recent update on the Atlas Shrugged movie, The Hollywood Reporter said that Relativity Media is now interested in the possibility of joining the project. We have confirmed the news with John Aglialoro, who owns the movie option and has been working for years to get Ayn Rand’s novel adapted for film.
“Actually,” reports Aglialoro, “Relativity is one of three smaller studios who have expressed interest, along with two of the majors.” Lionsgate also remains interested in continuing its involvement, despite having decided not to renew its option on the project last fall (as reported here). “This is the first time we’ve been in discussions with multiple studios,” says Aglialoro. “With the heightened interest in Atlas Shrugged these days, the time is certainly right to get this movie made.”
