Remember, the books were originally published in parts as short stories, standing alone. If he did one, it would probably have to be the first part, where Hari Seldon starts the Foundation. More likely, though is that you'll get a lot of artistic licence, merging of stories and a lot of added action and glamour. Expect to see Will Smith thrown in gratuitously.

I'm a fan of Emmerich's work so it'll be interesting to see what this could be like in 3D. Aslong as he remains faithful to the book this could be a cult classic!
