Everyone complains business aren't stepping up to the plate to aid higher education with what they demand of their students.
Now I guess it isn't socialist enough for the wearers of the tweed.





well, the problem may be that with corporate funding finally getting some pro-capitalist curriculum into a few colleges, Hollywood may 'rewrite' the content !
(snip)"As it turns out, Perelman has written an adaptation of Atlas Shrugged, Ayn Rand's 1957 novel about a female railroad magnate, Dagny Taggart, who is struggling to keep her company afloat. The 1000+ page exploration of Rand's philosophy of objectivism has been considered both off-putting and monumentally influential to its readers.
However, the real story behind Atlas Shrugged is the difficult (to say the least) journey it has had making it to film. In fact, Atlas Shrugged is often cited as the quintessential example of a movie that's been stuck in "development Hell," with various versions supported by various investors and studios, with various writers and directors attached nearly since it was published.
But somehow, Perelman's adaptation seems to be the one that may get off the ground. "I wrote a script that they all liked for the first time," he says. "I was really true to the book and they said that I solved it, finally. Not my words. I didn't feel I did, but they really liked it a lot."
What's most interesting is that Perelman managed this even though he isn't much of an Ayn Rand fan. "It's not very good literature," he and I agreed, "but I have respect for her."
Rumors abound as to who will play the lead roles in the movie, although at present names like Angelina Jolie, Russell Crowe and Brad Pitt are all supposedly attached. And it seems as though there will still be time for things to change.
But at present, Perelman is cautiously optimistic. "Now I'm doing a rewrite, a polish, as they say," he says. "And they seem to want to get it done.""(snip)

I have been keeping up with this in what way I can. Sounds like a go from what I am hearing.
Not good literature but a case analysis of sorts for her ideas.
