Counter-Counterpoint: You're right that Foundation was unfilmable, which is why they were wrong to even attempt it. They should have just written their own story instead of pretending to adapt another, but they're not brave enough for that. Or they knew they weren't good enough writers to come up with a story that stood on its own, without a popular legacy to prop it up. I will say though, Foundation is more filmable than some of Asimov's other books. The Gods Themselves is truly, utterly, unfilmable.
