Looks quite good. This will finally get me to sign up for the Apple service in 2021.

I'll be reading the Foundation Trilogy again this year in preparation for watching the series next year.

And already the ugly serpent of political correctness has reared its head in the trailer.

They are great novels that deserve a dedicated and accurate retelling.

Most don't give a flying #%&*$# about "political correctness" and don't get all insulted about it.

I couldn't care less if they changed some characters gender or colour (not knowing what you're getting stuck up about, but it's usually one of those two). It has nothing to do with the real story.

Yeah, well, some of us aren't ignorant or oblivious to obvious attempts at social re-engineering in television and film adaptations or unique shows.

Some of us don't appreciate being manipulated and brainwashed.

What are you referring to exactly? In the books the race/ethnicity of almost all the characters is never mentioned.

In an effort to keep this thread on track and out of PWEC, I will remain silent. The trailer is pretty obvious, though, what they're trying to do. Mister Mayor Salvor Hardin was a pretty important, major character. I would be remiss if I had said nothing, though.

They just can't make a movie without homo hanky panky...it's over half the actors and staff without a doubt.

Already saw the black emphasis in this movie. Too Bad. The story is NOT about race it's about the human struggle...which won't continue if we don't get by this race crap...and BLM is not racist????

The gender of a character absolutely does matter to a story. The division of the human race into two sexes is the one immutable and universal human characteristic.

But if it really does not matter, why change it? If it does matter, why can we not object when it is changed?

Watched the trailer again.

I think I will pass. So sad as I really loved the books.

Shoulda known, from Apple.

Just another PC POS.
