They're raping my childhood: Roland Emmerich to bring Isaac Asimov's Foundation to the big screen.

Ahhh, Hollywood. Emmerich can't wait. Gonna do the trilogy in 3D, because "that's the only way to film big movies now." UGH!

There's been talk of filming the Foundation series for years, the books have been in and out of development forever...but why couldn't it be someone besides Emmerich?

I confess I really do love science fiction. But man, I got no hopes for this one.

OTOH, I'm a fan of the novels of Scottish author Iain Banks. British director Dominic Murphy is is adapting a Banks short story, A Gift From The Culture, into a film. Murphy made the acclaimed indie movie White Lightnin', so perhaps there's hope.

I loved Asimov as well in my youth.
It would be great if done sensibly.

I dragged myself through Star Wars Revenge of the Sith the other night on TV. Not even thinking about the silly story, what craps me off continually are the ridiculous spacecraft, the explosions, smoke and flames in space. Jeepers!

Unfortunately with Emmerich, his track record shows the level of realism will probably stay at fairytale level - or lower.

Cheers,
