Please keep it true to the book.
It’s 60hrs long and perfection for a series. Don’t even need to change anything!

I really hope that you guys are up to the massive task of producing large scale stories such as “Atlas shrugged”.

Recently when I hear about the adaptation of some great book I just think "How are they going to ruin it now?" I can only be a pessomist.
But hearing that the DailyWire will be behind the project genuinely makes me excited again to hear about a new adaptation!

Been wanting a good adaptation of Atlas Shrugged!

"Pendragon cycle" is the one that will hopefully get a fully epic tv show adaptation.

Now if you could somehow get the Rights for a CS Lewis book, like perhaps the "Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe" or one of his other books, that would be awesome. I'd love to see a good fantasy series done by people that understand fantasy isn't about the special effects but about deeper things, like about human nature, morality and spirituality.

Oh my God, Pendragon cycle was my favorite series as a kid. Never thought that anybody would be interested in making that a series

[WoFDarkNewton]

Maybe Knowles will finally finish reading it now.

I bet the sad thing was atlas shrugged probably cost way less than they thought as the lessons aren't being taught for sure!

[michaelwalters]

We need a great movie adaptation of this series! Do great work guys!

[shmac]

Wow! How the hell did you guys do that? Get the rights to 'Atlas Shrugged'??? That book is epic! Hope you guys stay true! Looking forward to it!

I'd watch a 10 part series of this book

Concerning an "Atlas Shrugged" TV series, although it might seem controversial I think it would be best to do the series in CGI. This would give The Creative Team the ability to make a series that matches the book visually, since I think CGI has reached the point where it isn't a matter of "what can we do" but "what do we choose to do." One of the things that I saw as a negative in the movies was that none of the characters (except for Dagny and Hank) were close to the way they were described in the book.

For the human characters they could use slightly stylized CGI humans (like in the second "Star Wars: The Clone Wars" series where the characters look natural in the environment and not cartoony). This would avoid the Uncanny Valley Issue, and would give us characters that look right.

Forget Atlas the Pendragon Cycle will be DW’s break through!

If I wasn't already a subscriber, I'd subscribe for Atlas Shrugged. I'm no Objectivist, but I think the story is very powerful.

King Arthur on screen again? Sign me up....

[MrGchiasson]

Fantastic! After reading the classic, I then watched the three part movie series...
They did a nice job on such a limited budget. I can only imagine the quality of what Dailywire will do with it. Again...Fantastic news!

[joshuahawrot]

Super excited about the Pendragon Cycle!!! Some of my favorite books and it can be the DailyWire's Game of Thrones!

[TheNjsb]

One of the most amazing novels of the last century; well done!!
