Awesome! Foundation on the big screen.

Who is adaptaing this masterpiece of SF to the silver screen? Let me see...

Roland Emmerich...the name rings a bell. Let us see what is on this director's portfolio.

Independence Day
Godzilla
Eight Legged Freaks
The Day After Tomorrow
10,000 BC
2012

Hmmm...

Can I launch an appeal here to form prayer groups to convince the Almighty to smite Mr. Emmerich with incurable cancer before he gets a chance to "go Avatar" on The Foundation?


Thank You.

lol

I couldn't be bothered to go see avatar, this I might. Who knows? At least the story is good, don't know how they will condense three books down into two hours tho...

 

[Fovean]

they're planning a trilogy of films

The Foundation Trilogy being made into movies? Very good news!.

Emmerich is to produce/direct? EXTREMELY BAD NEWS!!!.

Emmerich embodies everything that is wrong with Hollywood science-fiction. Putting the Foundation Trilogy is his hands is like handing over the Mona Lisa to the Three Stooges for it's annual cleaning.

You know, first, no religion on the board, but since you brought it up, you don't ask God to hurt people. Go read the New Testament again - the parts about not judging people are what you'll want to focus on.
