Emmerich Plans Foundation As a 3D Epic

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.'"

    Who gives a fuck about the book? Either it's a good film, or it's not. Most science fiction films are made for children, just a big pile of special effects with a moronic plot, and idiotic dialog. So, with that in mind, I robot was above average.

    Who gives a fuck about my post? Either it's a good comment, or it's not. Most Slashdot posts are made to incite flamewars, just a big pile of special effects with a moronic plot, and idiotic dialog (nothing to fix). So, with that in mind, my post was above average.

    There fixed that for you
