Guest Bad Influence Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 As a big fan of Asimov's work and having seen the tripe that became the adaptation of I, Robot, I think this is a graive mistake. The books are epic and were written by a master. On top of that they've chosen Roland Emmerich to direct. SFX : Foundation Movie Underway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SFX : Foundation Movie Underway i doubt anything will ever come of this. it's been tossed around for years now, jumping from studio to studio, writer to writer, director to director. i'd love to see a great foundation movie, but i wouldn't trust anyone currently making films to do it.

Guest analogue wings Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 the book is about maths FFS. all the space battles happen "off screen". chances of a faithful adaptation from emmerich? um. not high. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GORDO Posted May 22, 2009 Share Posted May 22, 2009 I think it could work as a miniseries Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
funkaholic Posted May 22, 2009 Share Posted May 22, 2009 yes a tv series would be good, i've always wondered why film seems to be the ultimate thing to do, i'd be more interested in people trying to make a good tv series i dont think that made any sense Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
azatoth Posted May 22, 2009 Share Posted May 22, 2009 yeah, a high budget mini series would work much better for epic novels like the foundation and the sorts. cramming a book like that into 2 hrs is futile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest catsonearth Posted May 22, 2009 Share Posted May 22, 2009 if it were my property to make, i'd definitely do it as a tv series with each season being set in a completely different time period with completely different casts (aside from the historical figures like seldon and whatnot). wouldn't be very accessible, but i'd be totally awesome!
