Snyder first expressed interest in adapting “The Fountainhead” in a 2016 interview, saying he was attracted to the novel’s “thesis on the creative process and what it is to create something.” The novel was adapted into a movie in 1949, starring Gary Cooper as Roark, and has caught the eye of directors like Michael Cimino and Oliver Stone over the years. “The Fountainhead” centers on the young architect Howard Roark, whose dream of constructing modernist buildings puts him in opposition with the architectural establishment. “We need a less divided country and a little more liberal government to make that movie, so people don’t react to it in a certain way.” “I don’t know how that movie gets made, at least not right away.” As to why he thinks it’s not happening, Snyder believed the political climate still isn’t right for the feature film. “‘Fountainhead’ right now is on the back burner,” he told the Times. In 2016, Snyder announced his plans to adapt Ayn Rand’s controversial tome “ The Fountainhead,” but in a r ecent interview with the New York Times those plans are on hold for the foreseeable future. With Zack Snyder’s release of his director’s cut of “Justice League” coming to HBO Max this week, many are wondering what the filmmaker’s next project will be.
