Harper Lays The Foundation

Dante Harper will write the long devoping adaptation of author Isaac Asimov's epic science fiction tales in the Foundation Trilogy for the big screen says Deadline.


Originally published as a series of eight short stories, Foundation is a complex saga about humans who are scattered on planets throughout the galaxy, living under the rule of the Galactic Empire.

A psycho-historian who can scientifically read the future sees an imminent empire collapse, and sets to work preparing to save the knowledge of mankind

Sony Pictures won the the film rights in early 2009

Director Roland Emmerich has been linked to Foundation for a while. Earlier this year Emmerich said a script by Robert Rodat was fimished, but it looks to be no longer true
