Well, it took forever... but
They are going to film Isaac Asimov's "Foundation Trilogy" and do it in
3D to boot: http://www.ifmagazine.com/new.asp?article=9327 Although I've always wanted to see this filmed, is 3D really that necessary for it? You do "The Mote In God's Eye" in 3D and you'd be doing a 3D masterpiece. The heart stops at thinking about "Starship Troopers" in 3D. That could be the most kick-ass thing you've ever imagined in 3D. Pat |

I see only reason for trepidation and fear ahead.
From the link: 1. It's quickly becoming a necessity these days for all big budget, SFX-heavy films to be in 3D. Strike one. 2. 2012 director Roland Emmerich discusses his plans ... Strike two. 3. Emmerich tells MTV: "It has to be done all CG because I would not know how to shoot this thing in real." Strike three. And let's not forget how well Hollywood treats the classics whose authors are long gone and cannot defend their legacy. Dave |

Okay, maybe making Arkady Darrel a transsexual and giving The Mule actual mule ears didn't go over well with purists, but today's audiences demand their movies have an edge...and the destruction of Trantor by The Great Space Squid is really something to see. ;-) Seriously, there's not a hell of a lot of edge-of-your-seat action in the books, which makes the choice of 3D seem odd in my opinion. Dune may also be filmed in 3D in the futu http://scifiwire.com/2010/02/new-dun...could-be-m.php But that does have a lot of action in it, and the Sandworms would be fun to see in 3D. Pat |

Ellison brings complaining to a art form. Now, the Mule's army of killer robots was a thing that the Foundation movies really needed, and I imagine Asimov would be asking himself "Why didn't I think of that?" if he were still alive. ;-) Pat |

That's worrying. Foundation could almost be done in a live theatre. Perhaps he's going to focus on the scarely mentioned techology, and leave out all the 'dull' talk - i.e. almost all of it the story. Sylvia. |

That's just what I thought; it's a really strange choice for a 3D movie. Anything that has some sort of battles in it would be far more suitable for 3D, and Starship Troopers would be ideal for a 3D movie. Though it won't be in 3D, the upcoming John Carter Of Mars movie should be a ball to watch in 2012, and would have made an ideal subject for a 3D movie, as would Flash Gordon (done seriously this time) for that matter. I can't wait to see what Tars Tarkas and Woola look like, and wonder if they will incorporate the low Martian gravity into the movie. Pat |
