EXCLUSIVE: Roland Emmerich Plans ‘Foundation’ As 3-D Motion-Capture Epic � MTV Movies Blog: "Isaac Asimov's 'Foundation' trilogy is a pillar of the science-fiction community, and director Roland Emmerich is planning to model his three-picture adaptation of the tome after the biggest movie in the history of cinema.
MTV News has exclusively learned from Emmerich himself that 'Foundation' will be a 3-D epic using technology similar to the CG motion-capture techniques used in 'Avatar.'"

This could be a very expensive train wreck.
Uh-Oh...Good title. It's sure to be, as Mister Lynch says, a very expensive mess.
My guess is this will only end up being one film, the others won't get made. I expect something on a par with the Dune movie, which was really, really, awful.
And lotsa chases, shootouts, wisecracking, and reuniting of dysfunctional families (an Emmerich specialty), you betcha.
And nudity, lots of nudity.
Let's hope it's as true to its source material as I, ROBOT.
I think we can be sure of that.
I had to reply to this older 2010 post. Asimov is a favorite writer from college days, I think, as was Heinlein.
But his novels and works as FOUNDATION are very cerebral, I have always thought, so, it's true - a FOUNDATION movie would either be most unlike the original work or just be very boring (and true to the source)!
No further word on this so maybe it's a dead project.
