Objectivists may have blundered by exposing their foundation myth to a population not indoctrinated in advance to interpret it in the "right" way. Assuming that the rest of this film get made, and that it adheres closely enough to the novel, I wonder how American audiences, representing demographic reality, will react to the message that they deserve to die because they don't measure up to the movie's fictional heroes.
An accurate movie would also have the problems of handling Galt's implied adult virginity, underemployment and love-obsessional stalking of Dagny (the last a common interpretation of Galt's behavior). He sounds like the sort of "unsub" character who terrorizes an innocent woman in an episode of Criminal Minds.
