The new film is scheduled for release April 15, directed by Paul Johansson, starring Taylor Schilling, Grant Bowler, Matthew Marsden, Graham Beckel, Edi Gathegi, Jsu Garcia and Michael Lerner.

She becomes attracted to 'Henry Rearden' (Bowler) and his invention of the super-strength metal alloy 'Rearden Metal', that holds the promise that innovation can overcome a slide into anarchy.

"Atlas Shrugged" also introduces a theory of sex based in broader ethical and psychological theories. Rather than considering sexual desire a debasing animal instinct, Rand portrays it as the highest celebration of human values.
