I'm hoping it's not based on any of the books, since there areso much derivative material from Asimov (and the whole Robots, Empire and Foundation works) that maybe it'll be a better way to get new people interested, and then they can decide how Asimov-flavored they want to be by reading his and other authors works.
I think most of his stuff would be difficult for the movies, tho, because there's a lot of grand scale implications and internal thinkings of the characters at work. But I'll give it a try. Can't be much worse than Bad Boys 2.
Seeing the different mindset a society is in, once there are humaniod servants everywhere could be challenging for an actor. It could be a great way of showing how close to slavery we are really comfortable with, when it's all around us.
Re-reading the entire Foundation series is top of the retirement to-do list. A good month long session of Galactic Civ after that........
