Isaac Asimov to Hit Theaters via Time Travel!
Nerds rejoice! Issac Asimov is back to the big screen! Well, actually when the best big-screen adapt Hollywood has made from your acclaimed catalog of work is I, Robot there isn’t too much to celebrate. But, according to Variety, New Regency Films is apparently interested in boosting this track record, as they’ve acquired Asimov’s 1955 time-travel tale The End of Eternity. Eternity has long been an object of desire for filmmakers as several adapts of this work have been set up but never left the runway – most recently one which attracted Tom Cruise and Ridley Scott to the proceedings. This Asimov novel is a futuristic tale in which humanity is controlled by a ruling class called Eternity, members of which can manipulate time to alter history and prevent disasters or wipe out undesirables. But one time cop flirts with disaster when he breaks the cardinal Eternity rule and falls in love with a woman from another time period. No writer has yet been assigned to the project as New Regency is hoping to first take the material to directors and then hire on writer(s). Good luck Regency… you’re gonna need it.
