Grazie a David S.Goyer (Il cavaliere oscuro, Man of Steel) e a Josh Friedman (La guerra dei mondi, Black Dahlia, Terminator: Destino Oscuro, Avatar 2) il ciclo della Fondazioni di Isaac Asimov arriverà finalmente sullo schermo.
Sarà il piccolo schermo di Apple tv+ ad ospitare la prima serie, prodotta da Skydance e tratta dal lungo ciclo di romanzi, composto da una trilogia originaria, scritta negli anni ’50, due sequel successivi degli anni ’80 e due prequel conclusi nel 1993.
Secondo Goyer “Foundation was an enormous influence on ‘Star Wars,’ it was the greatest science fiction story of all time, the story is sprawling, the scope is sprawling. If ever there were a company that was trying to better the world through connectivity, it’s Apple, and that was something very much that Asimov was hoping to do.”
Il cast è di primo livello con Jared Harris nel ruolo di Hari Seldon Lee Pace in quello di Brother Day, Lou Llobell sarà Gaal e Leah Harvey Salvor. Laura Birn interpreterà Demerzel, Terrence Mann invece Brother Dusk e infine Cassian Bilton Brother Dawn.
The future begins in 2021. Based on the award-winning novels by Isaac Asimov, Foundation chronicles a band of exiles on their monumental journey to save humanity and rebuild civilization amid the fall of the Galactic Empire. Foundation is executive produced by Robyn Asimov, David S. Goyer, Josh Friedman, Cameron Welsh, David Ellison, Dana Goldberg and Marcy Ross. The series is produced for Apple by Skydance Television.
Questo è il primo trailer, piuttosto impressionante:
