ANGELINA JOLIE has won her dream role - as author AYN RAND's iconic heroine DAGNEY TAGGART. Jolie, a longtime fan of Russian-born Rand, has been quietly campaigning to play Taggart in new film ATLAS SHRUGGED - and now she's landed the role, according to trade newspaper Daily Variety. The movie adaptation of Rand's epic tome has been kicking around Hollywood for many years, and, at one point, was set to star FAYE DUNAWAY. The project sets up a busy 12 months for Jolie, whose next movie will be another epic adaptation, BEOWULF. She'll also be seen alongside MATT DAMON in THE GOOD SHEPHERD and she'll also star in the adaptation of MARIANE PEARL's book about the kidnap and murder of her husband, journalist DANIEL PEARL.

Some more information I got from my free commuters'newspaper "Métro" today : ATLAS SHRUGGED is the adaption from Ayn Rand's novel as you can read in the post here above. Dagney Taggart, played by Angie, is in charge of a railway company, victim of an upheavel caused the collapse of a pre-totalitarian society.
For sure Angie is really busy : Beowulf, Panda, Atlas Shrugged ...
Some information about this movie in the coming weeks I suppose.
From UPI this information about Atlas Shrugged :

Wallace, Jolie to take on 'Atlas Shrugged'
LOS ANGELES, Oct. 18 (UPI) -- "Braveheart" writer Randall Wallace and actress Angelina Jolie are teaming up for a Hollywood interpretation of Ayn Rand's novel "Atlas Shrugged."
The cinematic duo will adapt the 1,100-page novel for Lionsgate with Wallace writing the screenplay and Jolie taking on the central role of Dagny Taggart, Daily Variety said.
Wallace said he was first introduced to the classic novel from the Russian-born author through his college-age son and was immediately impressed with its epic scope.
"I was fascinated by Rand's book. It was original and provocative," said Wallace, who said he is eyeing a 2007 production date.
Jolie and Wallace's attempt to bring Rand's novel to the big screen will be the most recent after a string of failed productions tied to Clint Eastwood, Faye Dunaway and Robert Redford.
