From Darkhorizons, "After years of delays, Ayn Rand's most ambitious novel may finally be coming to the big screen reports Variety.Lionsgate has picked up worldwide distribution rights to a film version of Rand's 1957 epic "Atlas Shrugged", considered in many polls to be the most influential book in history short of the Bible. The story revolves around the economic collapse of the U.S. sometime in the future and espouses her individualistic philosophy of objectivism.
Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt are rumored to be circling the leading roles of Dagny Taggart and John Galt. The likes of Clint Eastwood, Robert Redford and Faye Dunaway have previously been attached to the flick. The budget is expected to cost a little above $30 million with actors expected to take paycuts."

The Boris painting makes more sense than this one, which begs the following questions:
If he's holding up the Earth, what's he standing on?
If he's holding up the sky, what's that in the background?
How'd you get that picture of me?
"If he's holding up the Earth, what's he standing on?" isn't exactly a new angle as far as Atlas is concerned.
Those Ancient Greeks were a little confused about what's actually going down in the physical universe.
