Roland Emmerich ja Isaac Asimov, WTF?!

Maailmassa ei näytä olevan mikään pyhää. Meikäläisellä meni näin sunnuntaiaamuna paahtoleipä väärään kurkkuun kun luin seuraavan uutisen. Cominsoon.net on haastatellut Roland Emmmerichiä käynnissä olevilla Comic-Con-messuilla, ja haastattelun mukaan Emmerich on saanut nyt oikeudet koko Asimovin Säätiö-sarjaan (Foundation) ja suunnittelee sarjan filmatisointia. Käsittelyyn joutuu ainakin kirjat "Foundation", "Foundation and Empire" ja "Second Foundation". Odotettavissa on siis vähintääkin samanlainen käsittely kuin mitä Alex Proyas ja Will Smith antoi edelliselle Isaac Asimovin klassikolle "I Robot".

"'Foundation' is my first attempt to do a series of movies, because we're developing three movies: 'Foundation,' 'Foundation and Empire' and 'Second Foundation,'" he told us. "It took me a long time to actually wait for the moment where the rights were totally free and we got them all, it's like 11 books, and we own the title 'Foundation' and also some of the robot novels and now we can really do these. I just hired a very good writer, the writer of 'Saving Private Ryan' who wrote 'The Patriot' for me and he's incredible. He is the most knowledgeable person I ever met about the 'Foundation' novels. It's great to write with somebody like that because there's no, 'I'll just look in the book and see what's there'... he knows it. I had a certain idea and he had a certain idea and that together I think will make this a movie."

Roland Emmerichin uusinta katastrofihelvettiä "2012" voi kauhistella Suomen kankailla 20.11.2009 alkaen.
