Word on the street is that a movie adaptation of Isaac Asimov's Foundation books is in the works. I guess they were inspired by the previous successes of other Asimov adaptations such as Bicentennial Man and I, Robot.

In other news about dubious movie concepts, there is also news that a prequel to I am Legend is being considered. I imagine they will call it I Am Only Moderately Famous.

One thing you can take to the bank is the fact that there will be more movies based on comic books. The latest success of The Dark Knight will make sure of that.

One comic book movie that was never made was a project called Superman vs. Batman. It's one of several great science fiction movies that were never made.
