James V. Hart

is NOT a name to conjure with in respect of the Chimes at Midnight's normal bailiwick. Hart is a Hollywood scriptwriter chiefly noted for the screen play to "The Muppets Treasure Island" among other sundry works. Allegedly he has written a screenplay for Ayn Rand's cartoonish libertarian opus "Atlas Shrugged".
From the muppets to Ayn Rand's ponderous comic-book characters...nope no leap there by any means.
In keeping with that notion, negotiations are allegedly being pursued with the equally cartoonish Angelina "Lara Croft" Jolie and her slaphappy horndawg husband Brad Pitt.

Assuming the project goes forward with this casting, we can then look forward to a lovely 100 megaton box office H-Bomb called "Atlas Shrugged".
