"  Credit: Flickr / Chris Drumm. Jonathan Nolan, fresh off writing Interstellar, will soon be manning another big sci-fi travel epic: a film adaptation of the Foundation trilogy by Isaac Asimov. Jonathan, the brother and collaborator of Christopher Nolan on Interstellar, the Dark Knight movies, and The Prestige, will adapt Asimov&amp;#039;s sprawling tale of interstellar empires, predictive mathematics, and the downfall of civilization. In the series, a group of mathematicians use expansive algorithms to predict the oncoming collapse of the Galactic Empire and work to prevent the worst effects of the collapse. The novels, also a favorite of New York Times&amp;#039; columnist Paul Krugman, are cerebral affairs. Asimov&amp;#039;s story is less space opera and more behind-the-scenes wonkiness with the highest of stakes. For their plan to work, the protagonists must face a series of moral dilemmas the rest of the galaxy will never know about. Jonathan Nolan is a busy man\u2014he&amp;#039;s also fast at work on an adaptation of Westworld for HBO. This will be the first adaptation of Foundation, though certainly not the first of Asimov&amp;#039;s work. The paring of Asimov with Nolan, however, seems particularly well matched. Via The Wrap.
