Zack Snyder

Yeah, yeah.

We've talked about it a lot.

I mean, nobody wants Fountainhead, but that's what I wanted to do.

I pitched him Fountainhead because I've written this super adaptation of that book, and I just think it's...

I think it would be amazing, but no one wants to make it because they think it's taboo.

Ayn Rand is taboo.

Well, why is she taboo?

I don't know.

She's taboo among the intelligentsia because they think she's a fascist and they think the book's a piece of fascist propaganda.

That's not why I like the book.

I'm like, look, you know...

I happen to just like it because to me it's a direct comment on making a movie.

A movie about an architect who won't make the buildings that everyone wants him to make and what the struggle he goes through to get the buildings made the way he wants to make them.

Of course I like that.

No movie director... I'm sure there's plenty of movie directors that don't like Fountainhead, but

I just think that it says so much.

Ayn Rand wrote Fountainhead in direct response to being noted on a script that she had written.

And she had been studying this movie about skyscrapers and they told her, she kept submitting versions of the script and they kept noting her, noting her.

until it was unrecognizable.

And then she was like, this is what happens to work.
