Part uno was less than stellar by nearly every possible measurement. (who knew a limited release with a small budget and zero advertizing might struggle?) Still, despite a sub-par script, budget, release and simplistic modernization... part one made some money. A smattering of dedicated fans wanted to see it at least. (and buy the DVD)
I'll give the producers this much, they are committed. With a mostly (if not total?) new cast, the quality and production values seem to have gone up, if such can be gathered from a trailer. My guess is that this "rag tag, bunch of misfits production crew" intends to see the whole book through come Hell or high water. Hollywood be damned, this novel will be seen by anyone who wants to see it in movie form, start to finish.
I've yet to see or hear any radio or television advertising or promotion but more than ever before, I'm convinced the full trilogy will happen. (there was some reasonable doubt after part one) Though book fans and armature philosophers continue to buy Ayn Rand's books by the thousands each year, a few more thousand of the aliterate or lazier (or blue collar busier) fans are still to be made.
