Foundation: Apple TV+ Releases Teaser for Isaac Asimov Adaptation
Apple TV+ on Monday released a teaser trailer for its adaptation of sci-fi icon Isaac Asimov’s Foundation novels.
Opening the two-and-a-half minute video above, showrunner and executive producer David S. Goyer (The Dark Knight, Batman Begins) shares a glimpse into the making of the epic saga, which chronicles (per Apple TV+’s terse summary) “a band of exiles on their monumental journey to save humanity and rebuild civilization amid the fall of the Galactic Empire.” (Were the story that simple!) The final 1:45, though, serves as a proper teaser trailer, introducing characters, the premise and whiz-bang visual effects.
