Foundation: The Movie?

So there's another attempt to make Isaac Asimov's Foundation Trilogy into a movie afoot? As well as his The End of Eternity?

I don't think it will work. Last time I read them, I really noticed how much of the "action" is just two character's talking.

And...previous attempts have been bad from the get-go. For example, an attempt to turn the trilogy into two films (similar to what the initial attempt by Peter Jackson for The Lord of the Rings was). And the attempt to use the "creative team" behind that horrific version of Asimov's I, Robot. Blech!

Addendum (January 18, 2009): More details and opinion. "A Seldon Crisis of epic proporations in the making"! And here's a good look at the plot...and how much it has been mined by other "franchises"!
