Rob Morrow is in this for...
...about 53 seconds. Maybe 67. His part MUST have been severely cut.
shareYeah, what was that about? Did he ask for his part to be cut out of the movie as much as possible? I don't even think they used his voice for the Dagny/Hank phone call. So I watched the credits, and he got his own solo title card before the rolling credits.
There were a lot of strange scenes in this movie, but that phone call was one of the weirdest. It reminded me of those scenes you see in old movies and TV shows where someone tries to fake someone on one end of a conversation by using snippets of recordings of them. As I listened to the "conversation", I kept picturing someone at the other end desperately fast-forwarding and rewinding a cassette player.
It's very strange indeed. It's been ages since I read the book, but I don't recall Rearden sidelined in the last third. That doesn't sound like Morrow at all in the voiceover, and they only use one shot of him.
There's a fascinating article to be written on the making of these films. So many strange production decisions...
In the book, Dagny threw Rearden over for Galt, but Rearden was OK with that, because we all know rich, powerful, alpha males are always totally cool with it when their girlfriends suddenly find someone more alpha, right?
After that, Rearden still had a pretty significant role. He may even have helped in Galt's rescue.

Yeah, sort of like "The Disaster Artist", about the making of "The Room". It would almost certainly be more entertaining than the movies. share
