I do believe there exists some combination of format, production, and screenwriting that could bring Foundation to video. The largest problem is getting the right people to do it. My ideal setup: Format: Miniseries with 1-1.5 hour episodes Network: HBO or Netflix. Mostly because I think only those would take a chance without mucking around the story. Directors/Producers/Screenwriters: This is the foggiest in my opinion. The Nolans might do well. It would have to be directed by someone visionary but faithful, like Peter Jackson was for LOTR (a great example of a "un-filmable" story turning out well).

Probably. I thought the BBC Radio plays did a reasonable job: https://archive.org/details/IsaacAsimov-TheFoundationTrilogy https://archive.org/details/IsaacAsimov-TheFoundationTrilogy Whatever they create, it's something a little bit different than the source material, but will hopefully give a flavor of it. The hardest part of the Foundation series is it's epic scope, in particular because it would be nice to integrate parts of the Robot series as well. But the essential message for me was humanity as his massive sprawling creature, slowly evolving across millennia.
