Foundation Faction

Former New Line Cinema big-wigs Robert Shaye and Michael Lynne will produce "Foundation", based on Isaac Asimov''s Foundation novels, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

The futuristic sci-fi epic concerns a society that has figured out how to predict the future based on something known as psycho history and it sets up a method devoted to scientific research to ensure its survival.

The plan is to adapt the first book for now, and if warranted develop adaptations of the other two books later.

The trilogy is among my faves in sci-fi lit. But it's going to be a tough sell to adapt However the same could have been said of the The Lord of the Rings and yet both men found a way to get that done
