Foundation 2011 (Asimov)

[sirolivertnt74]

the music?

[Jedadieya]

humanity was just another brief period of time in this vast universe...we were not good stewards of this planet...maybe someday another time another place another life form will succeed...the world as we know it is meant to be a never ending cycle of life and death

[HrothgarDoran]

Anyone else recognise the music from Homeworld?

[TheKarmaComedian]

@HrothgarDoran Best game ever! Yeah!

[behnamasid]

4:53 , Coca Cola will survive everything.

[bytemeah]

No please don't! 'I, Robot' was more than enough. Stop ruining things!

[TheAguilaCommander]

@thecrookedserpent well if you think original cover Asimov´s books are... shit, you are free to have your own opinion. But, of course, I disagree.

[baronvg]

I don't know about the books but those pictures are all pretty bad-ass looking. Id like to know where to find them.

[TheAguilaCommander]

@baronvg common wallpapers search around world wide web, easy.

[baronvg]

@TheAguilaCommander That was unbelievably unhelpful.

[Malumbrus]

What is the image at 2:56?

[ChrysthyanS]

They should make a movie after the book Foundation... money makers from Hollywood!

[HateYouYousickWhore]

I want to rape you now ^ ^

[WolfEyesatNight]

FUNNY HOW, Robots can be programmed not to kill or harm humans, but we ourselves

still don't understand why.

[SafeSocks]

wow, really nice collection of awesome images

[jopio333]

music is from homeworld

[ara9ond]

Sorry to disappoint you, OP, but this series would NEVER be turned into a film. It couldn't be. It's too verbal, too cerebral. And WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY too long to be a film, even a trilogy. It'd be like over 9000 films and people can't pay attention for ... ooh, a dust bunny!!

[etunsoiu]

@ara9ond its sad but true...i agree with u...

[Ortheos2006]

@ara9ond

Perhaps a 10 season series?

I agree that there's simply too much. Like the wheel of time series.

[baalisgod666]

@Ortheos2006 Shit! I just started that series.

[TheAguilaCommander]

@ara9ond well, not very cerebral, in short, a man predicts a future problem and created a secret society that is responsible for protecting human knowledge, the ingredients are very seductive: an advanced civilization collapsing, artificial life forms that are expectant, a mental evolution able to dominate most primitive humans, and finally forgotten origin of man (the Earth) all that can be compressed easily.

[dalriada842]

@TheAguilaCommander I read those books decades ago, so I won't hold my breath for the Hollywood treatment. I think it would make a great franchise though.

[Perktube1]

@ara9ond Remember, they said similar things about lord of the Rings.

[baillou2]

@ara9ond But the books are being turned into a film, a trilogy I believe. But it's being directed by Roland Emmerich who's a supremely shitty director. He will ruin my beloved Foundation Series. And for that I will never forgive him.

[eraeniel]

Music is a vocal remix of Barber's Adagio for Strings.

[TheAguilaCommander]

@eraeniel Youtube gently allows you to use this music (of course without business benefit) helping you to respect bso´s. The bank is pretty nice. Really

[stuffofdream]

but the movie will be pretty darn sweet.

[stuffofdream]

this is one of those books that is really hard to make a movie out of If they ever make a movie it will be nothing in comparson to the books

[thinbutfun]

dammit. I thought this was a real trailer - my heart was pounding that finally there was a going to be a cinematic take on Foundation...

nice job though!

[groterichard]

oo and 3:03 XD

[groterichard]

5:46 can you tell me where i need to search on google what name bc i that pic is cool

[TheAguilaCommander]

@groterichard mm.. space i think, try space

[PauloFrancaLacerda]

Beautiful pics, beautiful song.

[chaotic1k]

first 4 seconds: recognized the "Homeworld" music

[Bnnsay]

Foundation was my first sf book:D

[singularku]

he dreamed robot,he dreamed eternity.

[fahd2010mm1]

boring

[TheAguilaCommander]

@fahd2010mm1 try reading, maybe you´ll find it pleasant

[Multibjarne]

"Yo, Robot" Hilarious..

[FuckinLittleDreamer]

Was Asimov even a human ?...

[Hendar23]

I need to go play Homeworld now.

[geminirat60]

music sux!

[Scoonertuna]

Is Foundation a series of book written by Isaac Asimov? Not a series of short stories, but one big story?

[misterwackydoodle]

@Scoonertuna yes, i think it was five novels? iirc.

[Jtronique]

3:01 Gandahar??!!! (Light Years:) Bravo..

[TheZulren]

Is there a better way to pay a tribute to Asimov then with Samuel Barber? I think there isn't.

[amirherselman]

srtjh

[amirherselman]

@amirherselman IF ANY OF YOU WANT CHANGE ON THIS PLANET LOOK AT THEVENUSPROJECT. COM

[ExtraTerrestrials]

nice ass 2:55

[TheZombieman87]

I like the image at 2:54. What is it called?

[Tearanon]

I've heard this in another movie and for the life of me cannot figure out what it is.

[FlamesAndShadows]

Found it under 'fantasy ruins'. Sadly it looks better miniturised :'(

[TheAguilaCommander]

@FlamesAndShadows try "big" size

[FlamesAndShadows]

Could you send me the first picture? Pretty please, with a sugar on top!

[TheAguilaCommander]

@FlamesAndShadows to obtain pics you must look through the common search my friend, try space wallpapers

[TetrapakProdzekt]

@TheAguilaCommander he only wanted one picture, you are an asshole my friend, try obtaining that

[Benny118811]

@FlamesAndShadows and a squirt of chocolate and cherries and icecream!

[sarokcsiszolo]

Platoon's music

[FuckinLittleDreamer]

3:09 Erasmus?? :)

[SIZZLEBIZZLE1982]

@FuckinLittleDreamer Dune fan I see. Should I give the Foundation trilogy a try? I've read every Dune book there is to read...

[FuckinLittleDreamer]

@SIZZLEBIZZLE1982 I think You should at least it's considered as classic.

[TheAguilaCommander]

@SIZZLEBIZZLE1982 read it in order, better you read Foundation after reading these ones, note Trantor Cicle: 1) Prelude to Foundation (1988) 2) Forward the Foundation 3) Foundation (1955) 4) Foundation & Empire 5) Second Foundation 6) Foundation Edge 7) Foundation and Earth. You have too much to enjoy and read. Of course, better if you start with Robot Cicle (8 books) he he he

[BSG062]

It is the invariable lesson to humanity that distance in time, and in space as well, lends focus. It is not recorded, incidentally, that the lesson has ever been permanently learned.

Issac Asimov - Foundation and Empire

[magoelise]

Who is the artist of the picture at 2:55?

[TheAguilaCommander]

@magoelise is not Whelan´s correct. Probably wallpaper

[TheAguilaCommander]

@magoelise not whelan´s

[Geroskop]

I only hope that uor future will be as plain as Sir Isaak shown in his books. I think it will be much turbulent. We need to set up space deffences quickly couse we making too much sqaking lately. Dont think Universe is a calmn empty wastness, and as thriving with life someone eats someone eating..... We have cow slaves dog slaves etc. dont saying its bad just saying that is just how goes. I wuold prefer to climb the food ladder than t go down. brute force is a brute force, cant reason with it.

[Pentero]

Sublime.

[GalacticEmpireofMan]

I love "Foundation" and the "Empire" novels...but really, Emmerich? He has not the brain for this kind of art! Give it to Peter Jackson, Spielberg or some one else with a record of carrying shit out with fucking up! Enough said

[BuddhaZenMind]

Emmerich must not do this film. Hand it over to someone like Ridley Scott or Christopher Nolan who will do the job properly without all the Cheese.

[S2Cents]

i second that. 2:54 doggystyle

[TheAguilaCommander]

@S2Cents sexy doggystyle... ;)

[nostradamus1915]

4:55 coca-cola will ever survive

[StackhouseBK]

I really dont know the book, but the video has some good pictures and a amazing son!

[TheAguilaCommander]

@StackhouseBK too many books he he he, not only one. Try Prelude to Foundation...

[TheAlbinoBlackBoyAsn]

chick at 2:55 makes me want future so yea there ya go

[MikeHawk1969]

fake as fuck

[lapis269]

please for spaces sake dont let this movie ever get made. theres no way hollywood can make a good movie out of a book with several main characters that spans hundreds of years.

[aqdashsm]

nice pic's and wonderful music!!

could any one tell me wat is this music title and it's artist?? 

[Pentero]

@aqdashsm Agnus Dei, Adagio Opus 11

[TheAguilaCommander]

@aqdashsm check tittles

[balintjerusalem]

@aqdashsm the music is Samuel Barber: Agnus Dei (Adagio for strings)

It might also sound familiar, because Tiesto (the DJ) used it in his popular club hit entitled also 'Adagio for Strings'.

[davelfla]

Nice video - thanks for making the last 7 minutes very special. I do love the music - I have an instrumental version of it but never heard the choral.

[multidisciple]

One very interesting person told me that Isaac Asimov described in his books/stories events that already happened in certain parallel universe. So it is not future but past. With this in mind his stories get new dimension and deeper meaning. Some of us were probably there

[help4343]

Adiago for Strings has words?

[SciFiFanatic101]

There are quite a number of promising science fiction movies ahead: The Stars,My Destination,The End Of Eternity,Mass Effect,Altered Carbon,The Martian Chronicles.Exciting times ahead!

[unifiedreality]

@SciFiFanatic101 End of Eternity?? OH, SWEET!

[PatSolari]

Este video esta muy mezclado, hay imágenes que no corresponden a Fundación, y tampoco el ser humano estaba por desaparecer, lo que iba a desaparecer era el Imperio Galáctico, los humanos caían en decadencia pero no desaparecían. Will Smith solamente nos recuerda cómo se puede arruinar un buen libro!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Salvo por esto, me gusto el video, ojalá no hagan la película, es una saga demasiado extensa y complicada, van a resumir y a poner más acción, no va a quedar nada bueno!!!!!!!!

[ellipszia]

I would be do antyhing for see a film about the story of asimov....... (Just after I've ridden all of his books)

[tomalak16]

@ellipszia Lol, ridden?

[PhilipMitchellGraham]

It's about bloody time someone showed George Lucas how real SF stories are made. In the universe of Foundation, boring planet killers are just junk. Azimov demonstrates how to take control of a planet without firing a shot. Not sure teenaged American boys are going to like this message though. 'Violence is the last refuge of the incompetent'.

[DEADmetal3]

This video calmed me down, awakened self awareness and guided my thinking to the right path.

[StimuLAZ]

I believe this is a bad time to make the movie. The current trend (what viewers have been conditioned to expect) is to have sexy actors, lots of violence, fast paced action and overdone computer graphics effects. I am afraid they will try to outdo Terminator, Star Wars, Independence Day, and any other recent space combat movies they have seen.

If they dare to break the trend then the story may survive, and the movie will also be a lot cheaper to produce.

[sorenver]

name of the song??

[drkwiatek]

enother great video, future is near buddy

[quidnick]

This is one that I'm surprised no one has made a film adaption for. The story is Star Wars-esque, and full of great writings... perfect for the silver screen.

[Henfer37]

El video es excelente, hace lo suyo con la Novela de Asimov, pero mejor hubiera sido que la empresa cinematogràfica deba iniciar con "Lucky Sartranger" y sus aventuras, pues es màs digerible que "Fundaciòn"(los 3 libros)

[NorrinRaad1]

Thank You very much AguilaCommander, The Foundation Trilogy is by far the best all time series ever to be produced by any sentient being. Also consider that during the period in which this series was in nomination for best all time series for a Hugo Award (And Won) it beat out Lord of The Rings.....Something to Ponder over....(And Most Captivating piece of Music)

[PhatSteve7]

Sorry to ask but whats the song its so peaceful

[CommissarASSHOLE]

I would rather hope not that Emmerich does damage to the spirit of the "Empire/Foundation" books. At the very least Asimov's greatest work of art shall be given some dearly needed publicity, so that some young chap such as I could discover the books and read them for himself.

[scifi75]

Put the old music back.  This does score does not work as well as the old one.

[TheAguilaCommander]

@scifi75 If you want to hear the original background music, play -"Batman Begins - Score called "Lasiurus"- in another window while you listen this video. Was (very) hard to me decide to change the background music knowing a nice video was being altered & contaminated with another score, even the new file I select is proudly nice. Hope followers will excuse me this decision.

[agnosticforce]

@TheAguilaCommander what's the name of the score on this one?

[DrLynch2009]

2:27 THE MULE playing music over the ruins of Trantor,,, a marvelous image... exelent work pal, exelent work...

[StarryMan82]

Hi, Aguilla Cmdr! ;-)

The title it's a little bit... misleading, imho. You should've named it something like this: "Asimov's Universe" OR "Asimov's Masterpieces". After all, it *is* a compilation of his greatest books' covers. ;-)

Thanks!

[azpeitiapromotions]

Wow! Thanks! Your video is the perfect mix of beauty, future greatness glory and melancholy needed in the upcoming Foundation Movie. I hope and pray the real movie will have these elements all united. Ridley Scott should be the director, if Emmerich is going to do it, I worry it will be too shallow, it really needs spirituality, greatness, awe, the way Sir Isaac Asimov would have wanted this. I hope you'll inspire the movie-making team to do it RIGHT! Then Foundation will make history..

[TheAguilaCommander]

@azpeitiapromotions This is a really nice comment im proud to receive. Most of the comments are really nice and I try to read everyone, even the opinion is good or bad. Once you read Issac Asimov inspiration comes easy. I was a teenager when I read Foundation Saga and Robot Cicle (and more books not related). Years ago there were no concepts like YouTube to run fine tribute. Movie-making Team not need my contribution, not really, they have enough "story" to be isnpired he he he. Thanks anyway.

[RedAtlasman]

They are going to ruin the story. One of the best pieces of science-fiction is going to get a brutal assrape from R.E and his 3-D vision. CGI and 3-D versions of Malow, Barr, Riose etc etc. Oh this is going to be shit

[TheAguilaCommander]

@RedAtlasman hope not :(

[StimuLAZ]

@RedAtlasman They have a choice. Remember Dune? You don't need advanced CGI to ruin a story. All you need is bad taste.

The Bicentennial Man could have been ruined (as the technology was available) but it wasn't. In essence the story survived. There is a chance that this may be good, but then a lot of people will be disappointed because an orgy of the latest effects is what they expect.

[erd607]

@RedAtlasman I hate to add more cynicism to this comment but arent you assuming that the movie will be made at all? 2011 has come and gone and i held my breath the whole damn year but there was no movie adaptation.

[TheAguilaCommander]

@erd607 Faith

[TheAguilaCommander]

@erd607 movie will come, soon or later...

[TheAguilaCommander]

@erd607 correct. 

[erd607]

@TheAguilaCommander Hello AguilaCommander. From your last comment i assume that you have lost the faith you had a month ago. Thats a shame but i wont comment since that will only make me a hypocrite. Faith is not the same as hope though and i still have my fingers crossed (rather than holding my breath lol).

[kainedamo]

I believe the music in this clip is Lasiurus, from the Batman Begins soundtrack.

[memoeslink]

That is a good music :D

[unifiedreality]

Do you really think Emmerich is the man for the job..? I am worried.

[TheAguilaCommander]

@unifiedreality Hope one man face the job one day...he he he :)

[TheAguilaCommander]

@unifiedreality I think that Emmerich is a visionary, yes. Many have to bear the brunt of criticism and public opinion.

[timepoet77]

@unifiedreality No, get Ridley Scott. This is his turf, after all.

[FireHax0rd]

What's the picture at 2:04 from?

[TheAguilaCommander]

@FireHax0rd in minute 2:04 you can see main character Lije Baley in "The Naked Sun" publication, this book belongs to the cycle robots.

[judasizm]

very impressive future vision. thank you remember that again.

[TheAguilaCommander]

@judasizm Your welcome :)

[TheAguilaCommander]

@judasizm Your welcome.

[isomur]

Some really awesome visions in there! Music gets you well in the mood.

[cruisebum7]

Great Tribute. Beautiful images with Fantastic music!

[TheAguilaCommander]

@cruisebum7 Thank you very much :)

[DiZeHiZe]

what is this anyway :S?

[revzillo]

I hope they do make this Film it will be absolutely breath taking !

[scifi75]

I agree and I think you explained true sci-fi very well. I may have come across a little harsh with the word "garbage" in relation to the more popular areas of sci-fi. I have enjoyed quite a few of the Star Trek and Star Wars novels myself. It is discouraging, however, when the sci-fi section at Borders has "Twilight" novels prominently displayed on the middle shelf and Asimov and the masters are relegated to the bottom shelf.

[23167luis]

like it.

[BuddhaZenMind]

The Music influences deep thought and inspires creative reflection...

[John845]

Nombre de la musica en este video por favor!!! Name of the song in this video please!!!

[Turaziel]

@John845

Batman Begins: Lasiurus

[John845]

@Turaziel

Thank you!

[verdigris1]

That music was beautiful.

And the art is just tragic, gorgeous, lonely...

Reminds me how infinitely vast our universe truly is...

What really IS out there?

[BLACKESTEREST]

sum of these pictures are soo epic my gowd its.. beautiful @_@

[dimboysane]

Really interesting video - you've captured a sense of the majestic here. What is the music?

[Turaziel]

@dimboysane

It sounds a bit like Batman Begins: Lasiurus

[kainedamo]

@dimboysane Lasiurus from the Batman Begins soundtrack.

[mikhaze03]

Whats the title of the song ????? so mysterious , gave me the chills

[TheAguilaCommander]

sure a lot of people around the world want to see this extraordinary saga in the big screen. Probably waiting will not turn too long in time.

[ProjectZeus]

@TheAguilaCommander Who would want Asimov´s Masterpiece butchered in the big screen?

[MrMatt1512]

what is this about

[Moooshey]

3:14 Larry Niven's Destiny's Road

[peteris274]

just put all this together and everything will be OK!!!

[aaaaaaaaaajgvgjyc]

When I heard the revoltingly untalented Roland Emmerich was to adapt this sci-fi masterwork into an "Avatar style" explosion-driven film, my stomach contracted, I had difficulty breathing and I collapsed. Roland Emmerich!?, That's disgraceful.

[juleanu]

Isaac Asimov was the first and only who have a probable vision about a distant future depending on our predictable evolution. Total respect. In our days SF-related content adress the apocaliptic ideea in near future, nothing compared to a story about 4/5000 years from now. And if someone do a movie about the trilogy it will be far less than your personal imagination reading the story...

[RozumUniversalRobot]

@juleanu What about Olaf Stapledon?

[onjimana]

2:42 a jedi

[AFineVideo]

Beautifully done! I've read the Foundation Trilogy, now I'm going to have to go read it again.

What sound track did you use? I am overwhelmed! Listening to it is like being in another place and time.

Thank you.

[carlosatomo1]

es bonito

[SpaceManSpliff93]

yet a random guy makes a documentary with hard evidence and is serious about it, no one comes to publisize him. or give him news footage and when they do, they make him look crazy and crack a joke about it on talkshow

[SpaceManSpliff93]

I think his Genious has come from within and is truely worth sharing with the world. but i belong to a group that believes humans are nothing but a parasite that feeds off what food they can fill themselves with. for example: 2012 apparently we are going to die BUT they make a movie to profit off of.

[XeroinPrime]

For me, the Fundation's Saga is closer to a videogame than a film o serie. You may get more benefith or knowledge... A film should be a door of Asimov's World nd his teachins.

[kicsiqki]

I wouldn't like to see any part of the foundation as a single Hollywood movie. Not even in a trilogy. No matter how good the director would be, these stories were not meant to be on screen. Also I really fear that it gets in the hands of a bad director and it will become something similar to the "I, Robot" movie...

[SneakyDudeBG]

@kicsiqki I don't quite agree. The Foundation books could make a brilliant film, but unfortunately a brilliant film is not what we are going to get, once it became clear Emmerich is attached to the project.

[chemoman1]

@kicsiqki Look the positive side to this. I didn't become aware of asimov after i found out i robot was based on a book. I now have pretty much every book Asimov has ever written( even the educational ones lol). This could expose new generations to the genius asimov is. Just sayin.

[scifi75]

@chemoman1 I became aware of Isaac Asimov in the book of section at a Target store in 1986 when I was 11. He made me aware that true, good science fiction exists. I think for us fans who discover him, and I'll sound a bit snide for saying so, is that we cross over from the garbage of sci-fi to the stuff of intellect and imagination.

[chemoman1]

@scifi75 I'll be honest, I enjoy my mind numbing mainstream warhammer 40k books from time to time, but stuff like Asimov, K. Dick, Ursula K leguin, Bujold and Frederick Pohl is what "true" sci fi is all about; engaging stories, well developed characters and setting and thought provoking underlaying themes. Most "true"sci fi is that, a sort of a commentary on trends and events, political, social and economical, as well as philosophical and how they could evolve in the future. Man I <3 sci fi.
