Is Roland Emmerich learning how to use the light touch by charter Saving Private Ryan ’s writerRobert Rodatto Sudanese pound out his next scifi project , adapting Isaac Asimov ’s Foundation ? And how frightened are we that it ’s now longer than Patriot ?
We asked 2012 ’s Roland Emmerich ’s about his next scifi project , adapting Isaac Asimov ’s Foundation and find out out that big clock time writer , Robert Rodat , is hard at work translating it :
Can you update us on the status of Foundation ?
Foundation is a book series I was very fortunate to get . I just started develop the first of the planned three movies . The first one is called Foundation and then the 2nd one is in all probability Second Foundation . I ’ve hire the author for Saving Private Ryan , Bob Rodat , to write it .
Is that going to be your Lord Of The Rings ?
I do n’t have sex .
Is it tricky conform Asimov , do you have to have a wakeful tinge ?
It ’s a unlike form of picture all together . The interesting and hard thing about Asimov ’s Foundation is that he actually wrote it as short stories . Then , out of the short stories , he take the first book out send for Foundation , which was like several story . Then he write two big novellas , which became the 2d part . Then he save a novel call Second Foundation . So it was never really meant to be one narrative . And when you make a picture you need one narrative , you call for one narrative . That was the tricky thing to figure that one out .
How long is the handwriting right now ?
Bob is writing it and he ’s already announced that it ’s a very retentive handwriting . It ’s Bob Rodat … I do n’t recognise . I have n’t register it . He say , well , when I wrote The Patriot , it was at first 240 pages . I say , is it longer than that ? But it ’s ok – we can cut it down . We have to . He ’s a author that just writes it out , you know ? He just has to spatter it out on paper . He says there ’s a great deal of nonsense , but it ’s like pearls and you have to pick it out in rewrites and keep pick , and picking , until you have something that really work well . He have intercourse to spell , write , write , write . He uses you as the editor .
