I want asimov's foundation series as movies

Frankly everything has been cookiejar cinema to this point.

They're a little too Deus Ex Machina-esque for me.

I think they would work out better as a mini-series or a multi-year series.

In development by Roland Emmerich as a TV mini-series.

My prediction is that the show will be dropped after it hits it's sixth episode. Unless it, like I Robot, is remade into an action flick, with barely any resemblance to the original.

Yeah the link suggests he is changing the story... I can't see fans liking that. And if the fans don't like it then it better be a damn good mini-series to make up the difference.

Unfortunately, sometimes it's worthwhile for producers to sacrifice 75% of fans to gain half of 1% of mr. and ms. everybody...

I'm not surprised that he is changing it. Foundation as it is, is basically unfilmable.

Nope. It's not translatable to a movie screen. Not in any adequate way anyway.

I disagree with that, but not in a typical Hollywood movie / American series however
