Examiner.Com: What Book Would You Like to Bring to the Screen
Examiner.com interviewed Rob on the red carpet and asked which book he would love to see on the big screen. Â OMG Rob seriously if you did a remake of The Fountainhead I would just die. Â This is one of my favourite books and films (I seem to say that all the time) but if you haven’t read Ayn Rand’s “The Fountainhead” you should. Â The movie version had Gary Cooper playing Howard Roark. Â Seriously Hollywood – instead of remaking films from 10 to 20 years ago (except for Total Recall because Pfftarrell leaving gave us Rob in Cosmopolis) – why not remake this with Rob in it. Â I mean you just did another one of my fave films Mildred Pierce why not this. Â Okay I’ll shut up now.
(It starts at about o.43 otherwise it’s just Rob being screamed at by photogs)
Thanks to Mandy and RPLife for the tip and vid.

Thanks for recommending this @maria! I am always looking for something new to read so I will def get the book. And if Rob wants to be involoved in it I’m definitely interested. I haven’t heard of the movie either and I am a big fan of old Hollywood and of Gary Cooper so now I want to see the movie too.

Looked a little bit further into this and realised that I’ve seen the film but a very long time ago. I remember liking it very much but can’t remember details. Must watch it again.

@Ephie – I’m with you. If Rob is interested it’s on my list.
@Maria – How thrilling to have Rob mention something that you already love.

Gary Cooper was my Mum’s favourite actor so we never missed his movies and I grew up loving him as well. The Fountainhead was an amazing movie and I would love to see Rob play Howard Roark!!! I’ve not read the book, but i’ll soon remedy that.
