"The “Avatar” technology applies to “Foundation”. It has to be done all CG because I would not know how to shoot this thing in real. Probably now all big movies have to be 3-D. It's not only the effect of 3-D, “Avatar” has just shown that if you do a movie in 3-D, you can ask for more money and that's the trick. I was on the set of “Avatar” and I saw how it worked and I really thought, 'That's the ultimate way of making movies."Foundation" is based on Isaac Asimov's "Foundation Trilogy," which centers on a society that has figured out how to predict the future based on a method called psychohistory and sets up a foundation devoted to scientific research to protect itself and ensure its survival.
znao sam da će se snimati film o Zadužbini, ali ova vest sa 3D opcijom me je razočarala...., :'(

ReplyDeleteEmmerich will certainly make the story exciting.
ReplyDeleteAnd is that artwork from Michael Whelan?
Don't know whose artwork it is, but I do know that same picture is cover for serbian eddition of Foundation trilogy...

ReplyDeletenema na cemu, ja sam mislio da sam ti vec medju FOLLOWERS, ali eto sada i zvanicno jesam.
ReplyDeleteI'm more interested in a story for this adaptation. I already expected it to be in 3D and with a lot of CGI. No big revelations there. :)
ReplyDeleteFoundation novel(s) are some of the most famous works of SF literature. In my opinion, more famous because of their author and their "age", then because of their quality. But still very good. I read them a long time ago, so I don't remember all the specifics. What I do remember is that story consists of several short(er) stories/novels set in different time eras, and with different characters. But connected through some underlying story.
It would be difficult to make a movie script out of those stories.
I wouldn't be surprised it they do something similar to Asimov's previous adaptation - I, Robot film (with Will Smith). In that film they just used Asimov's work as basis for their script. They didn't actually adapt any particular story/novel.
I think that's exactly the point - using Asimov's work only as the basis and inspiration, like Rodenbery's STAR TREK.
ReplyDeleteWell, I've read the novels, of course - and my opinion is similar to Markos - but I rather like it, it certainly has something that makes it unique. Although, it could be term of psychohistory, which itrigues me the most - since I'm a student of psychology and all - and it makes it different than any other SF novel. Although, I must admit that by the end of the series, books were making slight downfall in quality. I don't expect something out of this movie adaptation, since it won't be like Foundation at all, but that's cause I'm a bookworm and fantasy freak, so... :D
ReplyDeleteI'm only puzzled how none of you guys is scared with Roland Emmerich directing the movie :)
ReplyDeleteWell, I tell ya, I'm scared like hell.... :D
ReplyDeleteEmmerich is the foundation of all our cinematic fears :)
