Rumor Mill: Angelina Jolie & Brad Pitt to star in "Atlas Shrugged" movie?

At least, that's the rumor from Total Film...

Atlas Shrugged, an apocalyptic vision of the future by US novelist Ayn Rand, has long been seen as an almost impossible tome to film. And Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are rumoured to be interested in playing the leads.

We've heard rumors for years of an "Atlas Shrugged" movie, but of course they've remained rumors - probably because adapting AS would be such a monumental task.

But now that "Lord of the Rings" has been done, it may have opened a few eyes as to what can be done, even with VERY LONG books.

I was interested to learn about Jolie & Pitt's interest in Ayn Rand/Atlas Shrugged. I searched around and couldn't confirm Pitt's interest, but Jolie has mentioned several times that she enjoys the book. With Pitt & Jolie behind it, who knows what could be done?
