I was alerted that Hollywood’s going to do Foundation
Feel free to chime in with your own suggestions for casting: the only rule is that the choice either has to be hilariously wrong, or fascinatingly wrong.

My instinct was to stand up for Tim Burton, but at this point it’s clear ot me that he just phones it in and collects his checks.
But as I said over at RS:
Seldon: Morgan Freedman
Hardin: Michael Keaton
Bliss: Natalie Portman
Mule: Danny Elfman
Oh sorry I didn’t read your post very well. I didn’t know we were rooting for failure, heh.
I hear M. Night Shyamalan is still free after The Happening.”
HQP
Mule: Will Smith
Hey, Neil,
Of course we’re rooting for failure. But after the inauguration tomorrow, the American people will never have to suffer the indignity of failure again in any endeavor.

I vote Ru Paul for the Mule.
Donald Sutherland as R. Daneel.
Regarding R. Daneel–that’s if they go all the way through the later Foundation books.
Neil: Well, it’s going to fail anyway, so we might as well go all out. So: Vin Diesel as the Mule; bad. The Rock as the Mule; awesome.
Hap: Shyamalan is a good one, except that he’ll insist on playing Preem Palver. Who will wander in and out of the entire trilogy.
William Shatner as Golan Trevize. Would have been ideal casting 40 years ago. Utter hilarity now.
