Congratulations are in order for Paul Ryan, who will be first in line to buy a ticket for Zack Snyder’s next movie: an adaptation of Ayn Rand’s 1943 novel The Fountainhead. The director—who’s spent the last several years shaping the DC Extended Universe with movies like Man of Steel and Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice—has reportedly confirmed that he’s working on an adaptation of the philosophical tome.

Snyder was apparently doing a Q&A on the site Vero, according to Deadline, when he told a fan that his next project would be the Fountainhead adaptation. He was previously slated to work on The Last Photograph, a thriller about a war correspondent and a special-ops soldier who survive an attack in Afghanistan. Representatives for Snyder confirmed to Vanity Fair’s that he’s working on the adaptation.

The Fountainhead will be Snyder’s first feature-length film after Justice League. Snyder left production on the superhero film late last May after his daughter, Autumn, committed suicide, leaving Joss Whedon to wrap the project.

The Rand novel has apparently been on Snyder’s adaptation list for quite some time. “I’ve always felt like The Fountainhead was such a thesis on the creative process and what it is to create something,” he told The Hollywood Reporter in 2016. “Warner Bros. owns [Ayn Rand’s] script, and I’ve just been working on that a little bit.”

Warner Bros., which has released nearly all of Snyder’s films, previously released a film adaptation of the book back in 1949, starring Gary Cooper as the idealistic architect Howard Roark, and Patricia Neal as Dominique Francon, Roark’s partner. As Snyder pointed out, Rand herself wrote the screenplay. The book has also been adapted for the stage and for television (and parodied on The Simpsons). The last time Hollywood adapted one of Rand’s works was earlier this decade, when a rotating crew of creatives collaborated on a trilogy based on her 1957 novel Atlas Shrugged. All three films, which were released respectively in 2011, 2012, and 2014, were mercilessly panned by critics, with The New York Times dubbing the first one “rushed, amateurish, and clumsy,” weighed down by a “low-rent and sad” aesthetic.

Like much of Rand’s output, The Fountainhead has been heralded as an iconic work in libertarian and conservative circles, most prominently championed by current Speaker of the House Paul Ryan. The politician—who contemplated his retirement last year amid a string of stinging headlines—once said that Rand’s work is “the reason I got involved in public service, by and large.” So here’s a little silver lining for him.

Snyder will be slotting the adaptation into his busy schedule, which will see him produce several superhero sequels, including Wonder Woman 2 and Suicide Squad 2.
