bowman9991 writes "Two big budget Isaac Asimov novel adaptations are on the way. New Line founders Bob Shaye and Michael Lynne are developing Asimov's 1951 novel 'Foundation', the first in Asimov's classic space opera saga, which has the potential to be 'Lord of the Rings' in space, while New Regency's recently announced they were adapting Asimov's time travel novel 'The End of Eternity'. Despite having edited or written more than 500 books, it's surprising how little of Isaac Asimov's work has made it to the big screen. 'Isaac Asimov had writer's block once,'fellow science fiction writer Harlan Ellison said, referring to Asimov's impressive output. 'It was the worst ten minutes of his life.' Previous adaptations include the misguided Will Smith feature 'I, Robot', the lame 'Bicentennial Man' with Robin Williams, and two B-grade adaptations of 'Nightfall'."
