Production
After the box office failure of Atlas Shrugged: Part I, there was some doubt as to whether or not any more of the proposed trilogy would be put into production. However, in a private debt sale in early 2012, the producers raised $16 million of the $25 million they sought, enabling a budget larger than that of the first film. The production company announced that Part 2 would be released to coincide with the U.S. general election season in fall 2012.
Duncan Scott, who in 1986 was responsible for creating a new, re-edited version of the 1942 Italian film adaptation of We the Living with English subtitles, joined the production team.
The production company for the second film, Either Or Productions, LLC, is taken from the name, Either-Or, that Rand gave to the middle ten chapters of her novel. An April press release stated the name of the film as Atlas Shrugged, Part 2: Either Or.
Principal photography began on April 2, 2012 with an all-new cast, including Samantha Mathis as the heroine Dagny Taggart, Jason Beghe as the industrialist Henry Rearden, and Esai Morales as the playboy Francisco d'Anconia. Producer John Aglialoro has implied that hiring the cast of Part I for the sequel exceeded the movie's budget, saying "it’s hard to lock people down", and also noting that Taylor Schilling, the actress who played Dagny in Part I, is "a bona fide movie star now". The film is on a 31-day shooting schedule, four days more than that of the first movie, but will undergo two months of post-production before release.
Marketing
The producers released a teaser trailer that features contemporary commentators commending the prescience of Rand's works, and snippets of interviews with Rand herself. A full-length trailer was released on September 5.
