Emmerich Plans Foundation As a 3D Epic

Posted by kdawson on from the pretty-darn-seldon dept.

spuke4000 writes "Roland Emmerich, the writer/director/producer behind Independence Day, The Day After Tomorrow, and 2012 is planning to adapt Isaac Asimov's Foundation series. The plans include using technology developed for Avatar including 3D and motion capture technology. When asked about using this technology Emmerich responded: 'It has to be done all CG because I would not know how to shoot this thing in real.'"

    Don't worry. The story will be left as a book. What gets made into a movie will have no connection with Asimov's work other than the title.
