First trailer just dropped -- written by David Goyer (The Dark Knight Trilogy), and starring Jared Harris (Mad Men, HBO's Chernobyl) as Isaac Asimov's iconic character Professor Hari Seldon:
Love that opening shot of Trantor (with the space-elevator). Lead girl looks real good, Lee Pace is always a gift, visuals are off the hook. It should be interesting to see how they execute this one, since Asimov's first three Foundation novels are so episodic (originally written as short stories and novellas back in the 1940s for John W. Campbell's Astounding SF magazine, and then collected in book-form in the '50s).
Like Denis Villenueve's upcoming Dune, it appears that they've gender-swapped one major character in particular (Gaal Dornick), but I have absolutely no problem with this.
