Not only did they use the plot from the second book they didnt even acknowledge who created the characters. | |

| Re: Asimov sci-fi epic "Foundation" coming to screens !!! I think estate has to have something to do with it. Tolkien's estate held copyright to his works, so were able to work something, and likely had feelings that the original works needed to be followed a bit more closely than Asimov's estate or Heinlein's did. |

| Re: Asimov sci-fi epic "Foundation" coming to screens !!! On the rare occasions we got to the cinema we stop till the end as often there are hidden gems at the end. We do the same on DVD now and so we got a surprise at the end of Iron Man. How many didn't see that? Last edited by AE35Unit; 12th February 2009 at 02:42 PM. Reason: Typo |

Wasn't there an article in one of these threads that basically made it sound his daughter was the one who was forwarding stories to the big screen? | |

| Re: Asimov sci-fi epic "Foundation" coming to screens !!! ok I have a question is the movie going to be based on "Foundation" or "Foundation Empire" because there is a big difference. Foundation spanned 500 years as opposed to Foundation Empire. Personally, I would rather see Hollywood make a movie with Elijah Baley and R Daneel Olivaw. |

| Re: Asimov sci-fi epic "Foundation" coming to screens !!! suppose you could possibly call the space naval battles 'action'.ThHopefully they don't lose sight of the old maxim of Salvor Hardin, 'Violence is the last refuge of the incompetent. DVDCOLLECTS |

| Actum pro novus diem | Re: Asimov sci-fi epic "Foundation" coming to screens !!! What space naval battles? There are hardly any. They would have to change the book so much to get people to come and see it. Because they are the incompetent and so violence is the last refuge. |

At least thats hollywoods take on it, the intellectual, thought provoking stuff gets box office dribble, the action/adventures get big numbers. | |
