Now whenever I see an ad for a new show I buy the book due to the times we live in. I know Foundation is being done by Apple but forgive me for believing this will be like every modern day reboot. I saw a recent interview with the show runner and he said he wanted to make it for a “modern audience” which is a red flag as well as gender and race swapping. He said he checked with the Asimov estate. Too bad they all aren’t like Christopher Tolkien.
I don’t understand why they don’t just adapt the woke garbage that has won Hugo’s/Nebulas the last few years. I find it pretty ironic to hear the constant bashing of dead white male authors but they have no problem making money off their work.
And I know Wheel of Time is coming. I’m sure the critics will clap like seals about it but that showrunner has shown that he knows jack about the story.
Checked with the Asimov estate? How nice. His son, David, is a legit shut-in pedophile.
His daughter, Robyn, is listed as an Executive Producer for the Apple show. She's also on the record as a big fan of the Will Smith "I, Robot." (Coincidentally, written by Akiva Goldsman who has also written multiples nuTrek episodes of "Star Trek" Discovery and Picard)
Fixed that for you. They could turn her father's legacy into nazi-flag waving gay porno and she'd still be a "big fan".
I didn't mind the I, Robot move so much, though, because the book itself was really just the memories of that "Robot psychologist" woman, because her life basically spanned a lot of robot "evolution"; basically, a bunch of high-concept short stories about robots held together with the roboshrink as the framing and connecting device a la Heavy Metal and other such anthologies-in-a-nutshell. The movie's story was basically just another story along the line, to me. The question was simply "Can I stand Smith's camera-mugging for that long?"
