The present day bit is going to be challenging. I was taken aback too, at first. I get the feeling they'll be able to work it into their timeline, somehow. If they don't... well, you're entirely right. It wouldn't be nearly so apocalyptic.
And, by incredibly faithful, I'm also drawing comparisons to other "based on book" movies. The majority of them bear a passing semblance, at best, and take enormous liberties to keep the movie paced and/or the audience attracted. Despite having to cram an awful lot into the film, they've tried to stick to the book - word for word, in some cases - as best as they could. I'm mostly worried about Franciso's speech at the party, and Galt's speech at the end... god, that took me about 3 or 4 days to slog through, and I believe the longest monologue on record in cinema (that I am aware of, to my limited specific knowledge) is approximately 6 minutes long. So. I wish them luck with those. But they've been revising the screenplay, re-reading the book, etc etc, constantly, during the process. It's a labour of love. They basically almost lost their license to produce it, they've been taking so long and had so much to struggle through.
And, yes, Fransico doesn't look like how I imagined. Neither does Hank, to be perfectly honest. Looks like they've got a stellar Dagny, though.

That would be more accurate if all the strikers in the book were complaining about doing the menial day-to-day tasks. But they're not. They've got certain technologies to improve their work to free time ratio, and they rather enjoy work in simple, as well as complex tasks.
That being said, I'm being picky, it's just a comic. It certainly applies to the BioShock take of Atlas Shrugged, though.
