 Roland Emmerich (Independence Day, Godzilla, The Day After Tomorrow, 2012…essentially anything where the world is destroyed by an enormous overload of CGI) is planning to develop a series of films based on Isaac Asimov’s Foundation trilogy.
Asimov’s books revolve around two societies that are created at opposite ends of the galaxy, as sources of human knowledge, in an attempt to shorten a coming dark age. The dark age is predicted by a mathematician’s psychohistory, a science that allows him to predict large-scale events in the future.
Emmerich intends to shoot the films using the same methods as Avatar; filming everything using motion-capture, and then presenting it in 3D CGI.

Ghostbusters writer and original star Harold Ramis has commented as to the status of Ghostbusters 3.
word from Ramis is that the film will in fact be shooting in the Summer of 2010 , releasing sometime in 2011.
Ramis said, "Something’s going to happen. Dan [Aykroyd] did write a spec GB3 screenplay a few years ago, but no one was motivated to pursue it. Now, 25 years after the original, there seems to be some willingness to proceed and apparently a substantial public appetite for a sequel. We’ll introduce some new young Ghostbusters, and all the old guys will be in it, too. Think Christopher Lloyd in Back to the Future … GB3 is progressing with plans to shoot next summer and release in 2011 …."

Another new comic book adaptation in the works. THR announces that Scarlet Fire Entertainment will produce a feature adaptation of Dare Comics' series The Hunter. Written by Adam Hamdy, The Hunter is about a CIA agent named Gabriel Mot with extraordinary powers. He's tasked with finding those responsible for coordinated attacks on America, and reveals a hidden world of dark beings with tremendous destructive powers. "In a world where monsters walk the Earth, nothing is what it seems." Sounds a bit like the B.P.R.D. or something Guillermo del Toro should direct. Hamdy will create an original Hunter story for the movie.
"We're extremely pleased to be working with Scarlet Fire," said Hamdy, who founded Dare Comics. "They understood The Hunter immediately, and saw in it the potential to create a compelling new universe that loyal fans and newcomers alike will love seeing come to life on the big screen." Scarlet Fire's Steven Pearl and Allan Loeb, the co-writer of 21 and Wall Street 2: Money Never Sleeps, will produce along with Hamdy. "He's succeeded in building a new superhero brand virtually single-handed in a market that is dominated by big companies with very deep pockets," Pearl said.
