Did not wait? Apple will remove the most awaited fantastic show of all time.

in #blog5 years ago

Apple is actively torn into the movie-serial business. Her first truly large-scale project will be the screen version of the cult series of novels by Isaac Asimov's Foundation.


Sci-fi recently filmed more and more. Sometimes successful (World of the Wild West, Modified Carbon, Space), but more often - no way.


Too often, the authors believe that it is enough to fiddle with special effects to make the viewer satisfied. The logic here is approximately the same as my friend of the institute times. He believed that flowers and champagne should be enough to seduce any girl. And extremely surprised when it did not work.


In general, the situation with serial fiction remains pretty sad. But there are some glimpses.


For example, the Dark Beginnings I anticipated from the books of Philip Pullman, The Three-Body Problem and now the Foundation.


Those who sincerely love good fiction, surely read this Azimov cycle. Or at least a few basic books. The whole cycle, by the way, is not necessary to read. It is rather uneven, especially if one considers several books written by other authors after Azimov's death.


If you have not read the Foundation, then before the release of the series - it's time to do it.



The foundation is one of the most important works of the great science fiction writer Isaac Asimov.


The plot will not retell. This is a thankless task, especially when it comes to such a large-scale cycle of novels.


But plotting is enough for intrigue. There is a galactic empire that captured the entire Milky Way. A certain mathematician develops the science of “psycho-history”, with the help of which he predicts the imminent fall of the empire and the onset of the dark ages. And creates the organization Foundation, which should revive humanity.


The novels from the Founding series (the first ones were written in the 1940s) are considered classics, which influenced all of the fiction. Suffice it to recall the Star Wars Empire :)


But Azimov’s influence extended far beyond the world of fantasy. There is evidence that Osama Bin Laden was interested in the books of the cycle. And, in fact, the name of its organization Al-Qaeda is taken from Azimov’s books (in Arabic, this expression means - the foundation, the foundation).


Early Foundation tried to film several times, but this did not happen. The farthest managed to go on the BBC - in 1973, the radio play was released from eight episodes.


That's all that is known about the upcoming series.


1. The rights to the film belong to Apple, which actively seeks to begin to compete with Netflix in the field of successful creation of original video content broadcast via the Internet.

And for the "breakthrough" Tim Cook's company needs some big and serious project.

2 The series will consist of one season (10 episodes), probably with the possibility of extension.

Actually, this will not be a problem, if that. The material in the base cycle would be enough for the whole Santa Barbara :)

3 The script will be written by David Goyer, whose most famous work is the script to the Dark Knight of Christopher Nolan. Goyer also wrote scripts for other parts of the Batman trilogy. His other works include Blade, Mission to Mars, Ghost Rider, Teleport, Man of Steel, Batman vs. Superman.

Goyer also has a serial experience. He was a screenwriter, producer and one of the directors of the fantastic TV series Limit and Remember what will happen. The first went unnoticed in 2005 and was not renewed for the second season. The second made a lot of noise, but was suddenly closed after the first season in 2011.

4 The producer and showrunner of the series will be Josh Friedman. He is best known as the creator of the Sarah Connor Chronicles series closed after the second season (2008-2009). Friedman also wrote scenarios for the Chain Reaction with Kean Reeves, the War of the Worlds by Steven Spielberg and the Black Orchid of Brian de Palma. At the moment, James Cameron is shooting the second part of the Avatar script Josh Friedman.

5 In the creation of the series will participate the company Skydance, which is working on such franchises as Terminator, Mission Impossible and Star Trek.

6 Critics favorably received the news about the film adaptation of the Foundation on the money Apple. And they predict that this may be a “level show of the Game of Thrones and the Wild West World”.


I share this point of view. For me, this is one of the most awaited serial projects of our time.
