John Ridley has also written the script for the film
a future Earth where humanity has retreated into vast, domed cities, known as the “Caves of Steel”, to escape the harshness of the outside world. The story follows Elijah Baley, a New York City detective who is reluctantly partnered with R. Daneel Olivaw, a humanoid robot, to solve the high-profile murder of a “Spacer” scientist. Spacers are the descendants of Earth-born humans who have colonized other planets in the galaxy. As Baley navigates the investigation, tensions arise between Earth’s overcrowded, robot-wary society and the more advanced Spacer civilizations, which embrace robotic integration.
I have to be honest and admit that I slept through most of the utterly boring, terribly cast and deeply uninspired season one, and not even the charismatic and wildly hot Lee Pace could make me watch the second season, but some of you may think differently, so you will rejoice in the knowledge that July 14th will see the launch on the ten episode new season over at Apple TV Plus. The episodes will stream weekly. The story that follows a band of exiles on a mission to save humanity and rebuild civilization as the fall of the Galactic Empire looms closer is again based on Isaac Asimov's novel.

stumble upon a colony of Mentalics possessing powerful psionic abilities
that pose a threat to the very fabric of psychohistory. The Foundation
enters a phase of religious fervor, spreading the teachings of the
Church of Seldon throughout the Outer Reach and inciting the Second

events and happenings, the narratives of the four central characters intertwine as they
navigate treacherous crises, navigate shifting allegiances, and grapple
with complex relationships that will ultimately determine the fate of
humanity.

'OVER THE MOON' TRAILER
FOR NEW NETFLIX ANIMATION
Over The Moon arrives sometime this Autumn
Netflix has unveiled today a rather ridiculous (not just because the plot is silly but also because it literally shows you the whole film) trailer for their new animated adventure OVER THE MOON which, as a retelling of a classic Chinese myth, hits the streamer this Autumn. Directed by Disney's Oscar winning helmer Glen Keane, it follows a determined, bright young girl with a passion for science who builds a rocket ship to the moon to prove the existence of a legendary Moon Goddess. There she ends up on an unexpected quest, and discovers a whimsical land of fantastical creatures.
