Zack Snyder has confirmed his next project will be an adaptation of Ayn Rand's THE FOUNTAINHEAD. pic.twitter.com/HiBhQTgkld— Talk Film Society (@TalkFilmSoc) May 28, 2018
Truly the man to do it justice.

knowing he’d willingly make an Ayn Rand adaptation pretty much explains his whole film career

If ever a couple of hideous cunts deserved each other, it's rand and snydet.

Kind of a perfect storm of material and director. A match made in Crap Heaven!
Won’t lie, I am kinda stoked.

It always irritates me to go to a bookstore and see Ayn Rand shelved with the "Classics". She's just so irretrievable bad.

Yeah, I'm kinda down with Snyder going as vulgar as possible with this. I hope he believes he is a Howard Roark.

someone should make the best ever period 50s/60s sex farce out of my years with ayn rand, the bildungsmemoir by one of her ahem "circle" who eventually broke with her philosophy and went on to (wait for it) found the self-help movement. not always intentionally one of the most revealing books i've ever read. don't even mean primarily about ayn rand. but about her too: jesus christ.
even now it is most likely uncool to give a shit but 300 remains prob the fashest movie i've ever seen, triumph of the will included. you long for the melancholy ambiguity of death wish

guys this is probably the best news i've had in months - american cinema's most meanspirited, meagre direcor takes on one of the 20th century's most indefensible novels! what could be more entertaining?

Don't know if Zack's looking for notes but Tom Cruise was born to play Roark

Arm0nd's review is legitimately going to be a masterpiece and is actually already written.

i just can't wait to see how snyder, who is perhaps second only to michael bay in the cinematic-adhd stakes, handles endless scenes of extremely tedious dialogue

isn't vince vaughn a big libertarian shithead? he'd probably kill to play roark

Surely Snyder could have a Dr. Parnassus-esque rotating cast of alpha dudes playing the role.

Courtroom scene: Roark monologues for two minutes before Zack gets bored. Cut to zoom-in shot of a jar of urine. Cut to Roark dynamiting the courthouse with all the socialists inside.

Misread this as 'Jon Secada' and nearly sprayed a mouthful of coffee across my monitor.

I think I'd be willing to wager a good deal of money that there's a videotape in existence containing a homemade adaptation of The Fountainhead starring Paul Ryan.

Or, at the very least, a dog-eared copy of the book with many instances of 'Roark Ryan' throughout.
