I’m pretty excited about this too, but it’s probably a few years away from
the screen. It looks like they’ve only aquired the right’s to Ender’s Game
and Ender’s Shadow, and combining them to make one film.

Bicentennial Man was (not faithfully) adapted from Asimov’s short story of
the same name, as well as his novel The Positronic Man.

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. Unfortunately, the attitude in
Hollywood seems to be that if you’ve got a big budget, then there’d better be
some stuff exploding.
I’ll see if I can find that script again. It was very interesting. Hopefully
it’s at my local library rather than my old high school. I don’t think it was
that long ago that I read it.
