Recently, a friend told me that he saw mentioned somewhere online about a possible movie based on Isaac Asimov’s Foundation series. I haven’t been able to uncover any other source about this, so I was wondering if anyone else could point me in the right direction concerning the veracity of this. Thanks. ---

Nooooooooooooooooooo!!! That ruins my plan to write the screenplay and sell it. I never finished my adaptation of _Foundation_. ☹ The original book was really just four stories with a prologue written for the novel. I wonder how they’ll tie it all together, if at all.
