Ayn Rand film franchise “Atlas Shrugged” to get a second sequel
Libertarian icon Ayn Rand’s 1957 novel “Atlas Shrugged” tells the story of a group of productive citizens going into hiding and refusing to support civilization any longer.It’s likely a story that rings truer than ever for the team behind the film adaptation, who have seen a seemingly huge prospective audience of Rand readers refuse to come out and see their two-part opus. (“Atlas Shrugged: Part I” made $4.6 million, on a budget of $20 million, in 2011; “Part II” made $3.4 million in 2012.)But the team behind the films, producers John Aglialoro and Harmon Kaslow, have announced that they will be funding a third installment, scheduled for release in 2014. (Aglialoro is a CEO of the fitness-equipment company Cybex and a poker player; Kaslow is a producer of horror films including “Night Train,” “Autopsy,” and “Boo.”) ;Continue Reading… … Read More
’2012 was the best year ever’: Zlatan
The Swedish star striker talks about his highlights of the year and why he chose not to comment on the scandal surrounding the Sweden Democrats.Sweden’s biggest news stories in 2012 (21 Dec 12)

On November 14th Zlatan Ibrahimovic scored four goals as Sweden’s team captain in a game against England, including a bicycle-kick goal that stunned the world. It was the inaugural football match at Friends Arena, Sweden’s new national stadium.On the same day scandal broke out around right-wing part Sweden Democrat Party as the newspaper Expressen published a video showing top politicians from the party making racist and sexist comments during a drunken fight in Stockholm.While several members of Sweden’s national team criticized the Sweden Democrats after their win against England, Zlatan kept quiet.At the time, teammate Pontus Wernbloom told newspaper Aftonbladet that he hoped Zlatan’s performance would “shut them up”, referring to the Sweden Democrats and their supporters.Now, in an interview for Expressen, Zlatan has spoken about his views on the right-wing party for the first time.”I feel Swedish. I’m proud to be Swedish and I try to represent Sweden in the best way possible wherever I go in the world. What they say, it doesn’t tickle me,” said Ibrahimovic.”The world looks the way it does. We come from all over the world and everyone gets together. My mother is Croatian, my father is Bosnian and was born in Sweden. It’s a great mix everywhere. That’s what the world looks like and you just have to accept it,” said Ibrahimovic.Ibrahimovic added that you shouldn’t mix football and politics.”Football is a sport where everyone is welcome. It doesn’t matter where you’re from. That’s why we play football; to bring everyone together, for everyone to enjoy themselves and to have a chance to practice the sport. Politics is not something I get involved in.”He said 2012 has been his best year ever and that it was difficult to pick one highlight.In addition to the stunning 4-2 win against England, Zlatan helped Sweden make an epic four-goal comeback in a World Cup qualifying match against Germany. Ibrahimovic said he has many favourite moments from the past year.”I remember the end in Milan. We’re talking April, May, somewhere around that time. We had no chance of winning the league, but talk was going around about the top score charts and I was just scoring goal after goal from all directions. I’ve never scored as many goals as I did for Milan then,” said Ibrahimovic.”Then the European Championships came and my goal against France. Even if the tournament was over for us that is a moment I won’t forget.”He added that the game against England at Friends Arena, and especially his bicycle-kick goal, will be the first moment he remembers when thinking back on 2012 in the future.The Local/nr Follow The Local on Twitter … Read More
