For the record: HBO was apparently supposed to do this a couple years ago [1].
I wonder how well the Foundation books will translate to the screen. Given the segmented format of the first three Foundation novels, it almost seems like a mockumentary-style exposition would be necessary (which could preserve things like the cool Encyclopedia Galactica quote epigraphs).

- rotorblade 9y agoI have it a bit mixed up in my head, but yeah, Sony announced they would do one abandoned it, and then HBO bought it and announced it and abandoned it. So this would be the third step (but I seem to have a memory of that this has been going on a lot longer). https://hbowatch.com/hbo-acquires-asimovs-foundation-series-rights/ https://hbowatch.com/hbo-acquires-asimovs-foundation-series-...
