As a playwright, her dramas Night of January 16th and The Unconquered, her stage adaptation of her novel We the Living, faced meddling from producers and Rand felt her artistic vision was trampled upon.Īs her 1943 novel The Fountainhead became a bestseller and received acclaim, it attracted the attention of Hollywood. Rand was protective of her novels when they came to being adapted because she knew firsthand how producers could butcher an artist’s work. While it remains to be seen if it can improve on the 2011-2014 series, it will inevitably not be better than the book. It was recently announced that conservative media outfit The Daily Wire acquired the rights to adapt the popular novel, this time as a miniseries. Other adaptations, like the Atlas Shrugged movies, are substandard films that indeed would have been condemned by Rand if she were still living today.
Some films like To Kill a Mockingbird and 1984 are terrific adaptations but are still inferior to the source material. Books are almost always better than movie adaptations.
