With Dune and Foundation now big pop culture hits, we had to ask ourselves: What other 'unfilmable' sci-fi novels deserve their shot at the big or small screen?
The story of the last 20 years of pop culture is, in many ways, the Victory Of The Nerd: Comic book films, gaming adaptations, the general adoption of deeply nerdy genre trappings like time loop stories, superheroes, and more, all making billions of dollars at the box office as geek obsessions infiltrate the body mainstream.
Using the trappings of noir and detective fiction, Asimov paints a fascinating, claustrophobic vision of human society—and even gets in a few film-friendly conveyor belt chase sequences, to boot. Amazingly, Caves has only been adapted for the screen once: In a 1964 BBC TV production that starred Peter Cushing as Baley. We suspect the tepid response to 2004's I, Robot killed potential enthusiasm for more Asimov Robot books, but c’mon: This thing is begging for another shot.
