THE CAVES OF STEEL
SF CLASSIC TO BE TURNED INTO A FILM
According to Deadline, Oscar winner John Ridley is going to turn Isaac Asimov's sf classic THE CAVES OF STEEL into a sf movie. Story is set in
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.
