Fantastic Concept Artwork From Roland Emmerich’s Abandoned ‘Foundation’ Movie At Sony – Based On The Beloved Isaac Asimov Novels

Isaac Asimov’s Foundation series of novels are considered some of the best examples of the science fiction genre and is getting a series adaptation at Apple TV+ that will begin airing in 2021. 

Check out the upcoming show’s teaser trailer below. 

Based on the award-winning novels by Isaac Asimov, Foundation chronicles a band of exiles on their monumental journey to save humanity and rebuild civilization amid the fall of the Galactic Empire

Before there was a show, director Roland Emmerich (Stargate, Independence Day) attempted to make a feature film version for Sony Pictures that ultimately didn’t come together. 

Production designer Oliver Scholl has posted a bunch of Foundation concept artwork on his website that was created between 2010-2011. 

Scholl’s credits as a production designer include Venom, Edge of Tomorrow, Spider-Man: Homecoming, Independence Day, Godzilla 1998, The Man From U.N.C.L.E., and Suicide Squad. He also worked in the art department on sci-fi films such as Stargate, Mission To Mars, Titan A.E., and A.I. Artificial Intelligence. 

The artwork certainly has a scale that we’re not really used to from Roland and does have an Avatar feel to it.
