unv.is/theplaylist.net/the-fountainhead-zack-snyder-20190521 >Recently, it was announced that filmmaker Zack Snyder was going to take a break from superhero films, after leaving the DCEU in the rearview mirror, and venture back into the genre that really put him on the map — zombies. However, before his “Army of the Dead” was announced, the filmmaker publicly said that he wanted to adapt Ayn Rand’s novel “The Fountainhead” for the big screen.
>Since that was announced, there’s been no word on “The Fountainhead” or anything relating to the project from Snyder. But in a new interview with ComicBookDebate, the director opens up about the project and its status, especially in today’s political climate.
>“‘The Fountainhead’… It’s still important to me, but it’s a really touchy subject right now,” said Snyder. “People will think it’s hardcore right-wing propaganda, but I don’t view it like that. I just think the story is super fun and crazy and melodramatic about architecture and sex.”
>The novel tells the story of Howard Roark, a young architect that refuses to conform to the traditions of his trade and strives to be an innovator in the field.
>He continued, “It’s about time we get a different president so we don’t take shit so seriously!”
Why are you skipping the part of the article when Snyder shit all over Trump ?
Christopher Fisher
(cont.) >The potential controversy surrounding a ‘Fountainhead’ film rests heavily on the shoulders of author Ayn Rand. Due to the popularity of her writing, and the ideas formulated in her books, Rand has become a bit of a figurehead for modern Libertarianism. And in today’s politics, many folks that follow Rand’s political views are seen to be far-right and alt-right. As you might expect, that’s the type of content that isn’t probably going to be the most popular in 2019.
>That being said, Rand, during her life, rejected the labels of Libertarian and Conservative, even when her ideas seemed to venture in that realm. But for Snyder, he looks at Rand differently than most.
>“I think she’s incredible and insane and she’s always said story first, not regarding her politics,” said the filmmaker. “But it was easy for her to fall victim to her own popularity, and she drank her own Kool-Aid.”
>He continued, “She didn’t give a fuck. If she was alive right now she would’ve fucking murdered Donald Trump. She didn’t even like Reagan! She thought he was a nationalist. But I’m rambling now, sorry!”
>Before Snyder even attempts to revive “The Fountainhead,” the filmmaker has to finish his upcoming “zombie heist” film titled “Army of the Dead,” which is coming to Netflix sometime next year.
dont care for meme ideology or america politics(not american) but the fountainhead is based and there was a really good play(de eeuwige bron) in my country (the netherlands) a while back. hope it will be art deco kino

Why doesn’t he do anthem by ayn rand instead? I liked that book, seems like that topic would be better for him
Hudson King
>"Once you’ve lost your virginity to this fucking movie and then you come and say to me something about like ‘my superhero wouldn’t do that.’ I’m like ‘Are you serious?’ I’m like down the fucking road on that. It’s a cool point of view to be like ‘my heroes are still innocent. My heroes didn’t fucking lie to America. My heroes didn’t embezzle money from their corporations. My heroes didn’t commit any atrocities.’ That’s cool. But NIGGER you’re living in a fucking dream world.”
Why does Snyder sound like a legitimate 13 year old every time he speaks?
Liam Fisher
brad bird in general seems that way. especially in incredibles

BUT MUH DRUMPF WE NEED A NEW PRESIDENT
God how tiresome can this be? It's been nonstop for years now.
Jackson Nguyen
I wouldn't even mind except that the Democrats are going to be equally insufferable for the opposite reason if/when they win 2020 It's not going to end with Trump, the stage is set now for the forseeable future.
Jackson Allen
I would love to see campy pulp adaptions of Ayn Rand's works, to be desu.
Evan Price
>b-b-but Snyder’s ourguy! How will Yea Forums cope with this, Snyder is a juvenile hack at his core
Joshua Howard
Because he’s a fucking moron and that’s what you need to be to appeal to children and other morons.
Levi Stewart
>I just think the story is super fun and crazy and melodramatic about architecture and sex. kek which scenes would be in slow motion?

Isaac Ward
I’d rather see the unlicensed adaptation of We The Living that was made in Italy in the 30s desu
>tfw no Black answer white Capeshit movie about the Question (or Mr.A)
Daniel Perry
What I learned from Rand and Sartre was that explaining your philosophy through fiction is more tedious than an actual philosophy book would be. FUCK ATLAS SHRUGGED and FUCK NAUSEA

>she’s always said story first, not regarding her politics

I'd be heated too for being insulted and mocked.

Jaxon Rivera
most people on here only remember the Obama years, who was never called out on ANY of his shit, so its a tad jarring to hear Hollywood babies still sulking about who America chose as president 3 years later

Why would this project even appeal to him?
Chase Morgan

The Fountainhead Rand's first book was The Fountainhead, a novel that was part rape-fantasy romance novel, part glorified masturbationfest towards people who draw Italian postcards, and part condemnation of the dumbing-down of the American people. The story involves a down-and-out architect turned rapist and arsonist that no one will hire because he doesn't build according to the tastes of the dumb ignorant mob. He rapes a rich girl who was asking for it. She then becomes obsessed with him but shows her commitment by marrying everyone BUT her obsession because she thinks that, if they stay apart and remain miserable, they will be superior to the chattel of humanity that surrounds them. If you're forced to read a single Ayn Rand novel, make it this one, as it's shorter (by Rand standards) and the characters have a smattering of personality.
The plot can be broken down like this:
Random shit happens in the beginning to tell us how awesome Howard Roark is, and how feeble and selfish Peter Keating is. More random shit happens to tell us how awesome Howard Roark is and how selfish Ellsworth Toohey is More random shit happens to tell us how awesome Howard Roark is and how selfish everyone is Finally, some random shit happens to tell us how awesome Howard Roark is and how much more awesome he really is Climax: Howard Roark is a hero and very very awesome. Ayn Rand would eat his poop any day. It was made into a movie in 1948, infamous as far as Rand throwing a tantrum to force the screen-writers to keep her long, incoherent speech at the end when the architect-rapist-arsonist speaks to a jury and successfully gets acquitted by playing the "I blew up a building because I had the right to do so as an individual" card.
Logan Collins
Because Snyder is an honest director who wants to make true kinography that will discussed for centuries
David Richardson
I was going to argue with you, but then I remembered that the Dr. Manhattan sequence from Watchmen is my favorite scene in film.
True, but never take into account the opinions of the hollywood elite. Their interests wouldn't align with the everyday man, nor for the most part should they. The second you start listing obama's unlawful shit, they chimp out and start to go full drumpf
