March 26th 2013 will forever go down in history as the day Atlas Shrugged Part III was announced with a green light for production making it the last film in the epic trilogy following the novel by Ayn Rand published in 1957. The novel since that time has been consistently ranked as one of the best-selling books in history behind only The Bible and is the unique product of American philosophy which is exceptional any place in the entire world.
The pictures shown within this article indicate that the production group led by John Aglialoro plan to hit this final epic conclusion hard and with great passion. I had the privilege just a few weeks ago to watch Atlas Shrugged Part II with a Tea Party crowd which was deeply inspiring. (CLICK HERE FOR REVIEW) At the end of the movie there was open emotion in favor of seeing Part III as Part II ended on a cliffhanger that has not been seen since The Empire Strikes Back left audiences hanging on the edge of their seats for three long years. The producers of Atlas III will not make fans wait that long as they journey in 2014 to Atlantis which is nicknamed Galt’s Gulch in the novel.
The point of the entire book–which critics of the previous two films who are not fans of Ayn Rand do not understand—is to meet the long discussed John Galt, who is in essence the perfect man. Galt’s Gulch is the creation of the main protagonists which fans have not had a chance to see until this upcoming film. The producers promise to begin filming in the fall of 2013 on the East Coast so to save roughly 20% of the production cost imposed on them from the previous two films shot in California.
The Atlas films are not for everyone, so most of the movie going audience will not be sure what to think about the translation of the Ayn Rand epic to film. For those who enjoyed the recent History Channel presentation of The Bible, the approach to the Atlas films is very similar. At the end of Part III when watched from beginning to end in one large 6 hour presentation, the Atlas Shrugged films will be much more satisfying to the casual audience.
For the millions who enjoy the book, they will enjoy the movie. For those who find Ayn Rand’s novels life shattering, they will hate the movie. They will absolutely hate what John Galt represents when they meet him and they will do everything in their power to stop viewers from seeing the film when it hits theaters on July 4th 2014. The best explanation for why some people, particularly on the left hate Atlas Shrugged and its author Ayn Rand so much can be seen from that same Bible series on the History Channel. The reaction critics have toward Atlas Shrugged is the same that the Pharisees had toward Jesus Christ. 
The message of John Galt is dangerous to such people, and they despise John Aglialoro for putting into film a book that is considered to be a menace to society by politicians like Barack Obama and his gang of collectivists. For that reason, it is a small miracle that the production of Atlas Shrugged Part III is going to happen at all, and thank goodness it is. There are people in the world that are desperately hungry for its message, and now more people than ever will have access to a masterpiece which is uniquely a product of American philosophy. 
The reason America has been the greatest country on Earth is what Atlas Shrugged is all about, and the definitions are unquestionably uttered by the words of John Galt. In the summer of 2014, the world will learn just Who John Galt is. Many viewers will like it, and many more will hate it, but the philosophy will side with the minority as history will chronicle the victor. The truth is indisputable and is contained within the words that John Galt will utter in an epic masterpiece in the making, Atlas Shrugged Part III which is coming soon to a theater near you.

Two Questions:
1. On Aglialoro’s blog before the November 2012 election, and in response to a question during an interview, Aglialoro wrote that if Obama were reelected to a 2nd term, he would not bother completing the Atlas Shrugged trilogy, since he would interpret the reelection as a sign that the U.S. was too far down the road of collectivism. Obama did win a 2nd term, yet Aglialoro is apparently proceeding with Atlas Shrugged Part III. Given his original position in the interview, why has he changed his mind after the election?
2. What is your opinion of Stephen Polk’s litigation threat against the producers of Atlas Shrugged?

I’d say Polk has reason to be disappointed. But from what I know, the budget was getting out of control, and the producers had to make a decision. That’s business. I think Aglialoro got caught up in the Obama situation and couldn’t imagine an America with Obama having a second term. You can either crawl in a hole and rot away, or you can do something productive. Adding to the philosophy of the American illness is a good thing, and that is what Aglialoro has decided to do with the third film. I think Aglialoro is caught between trying to make a film that has mass appeal and one that is strictly and Indie. His Atlas Shrugged is an Indie so it won’t quickly have any cultural impact. Indie films seep slowly into the culture, so his films won’t have an immediate impact on elections. But they will over time–perhaps a decade or so. Making the film is important, and this seems to be where he’s going with the project.
