Zack Snyder has named his next movie project – an adaptation of the 1943 Ayn Rand novel The Fountainhead. A fan somehow managed to get Snyder to confirm the news on social website Vero.

The Fountainhead’s story is as follows [from the source novel synopsis]:
Architect Howard Roark is as unyielding as the granite he blasts to build with. Defying the conventions of the world around him, he embraces a battle over two decades against a double-dealing crew of rivals who will stop at nothing to bring him down. These include, perhaps most troublesome of all, the ambitious Dominique Francon, who may just prove to be Roarke’s equal. This epic story of money, power and a man’s struggle to succeed on his own terms is a paean to individualism and humanity’s creative potential. First published in 1943, The Fountainhead introduced millions to Rand’s philosophy of Objectivism: an uncompromising defence of self-interest as the engine of progress, and a jubilant celebration of man’s creative potential.
Snyder’s last film was 2017’s Justice League, but the filmmaker had to step away from the project following the death of his daughter. Joss Whedon stepped in to complete the film. Snyder is also the director behind the likes of Watchmen, Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice and Man Of Steel.
There’s no timeline as yet re. The Fountainhead, but we’ll keep you posted.
