I’m pretty excited about this too, but it’s probably a few years away from

Bicentennial Man was (not faithfully) adapted from Asimov’s short story of the

about it. :D

| (...) I read a script once of a proposed movie based upon Isaac Asimov's short stories that never got to filming. The explanation was that Asimov's stories are very adult, concerning deeper issues and themes than most Hollywood sci-fi. (...)
