    Isaac Asimov (January 2, 1920 – April 6, 1992) was
    a Russian-born American author and professor of
    biochemistry, a highly successful writer, best known
    for his works of science fiction and for his popular
    science books. Asimov was one of the most prolific
    writers of all time, having written or edited more
    than 500 books.
    Asimov's most famous work is the Foundation Series;
    his other major series are the Galactic Empire series
    and the Robot series, both of which he later tied into
    the same fictional universe as the Foundation Series
    to create a unified "future history" for his stories.

    :iconblank-space:The Three Laws of Robotics
    1. A robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction,
    allow a human being to come to harm.
    2. A robot must obey orders given to it by human beings, except where
    such orders would conflict with the First Law.
    3. A robot must protect its own existence as long as such
    protection does not conflict with the First or Second Law.

    List of Adaptations

    :iconp-joart:

    First of all I want to apologize for the lack of updates on the contest. I've been busy for the start of college classes, but as soon as I have some free time I'll get the thing moving.

    This blog contains a list of adaptations of Asimov's works. Here you can discuss them and suggest adaptations I might have missed.
    Thanks to member ~seabird for suggesting this discussion. :)

    Cinematographic adaptations:

    I, Robot (2004) - Trailer
    Loosely inspired by Asimov's robot stories. In the year 2035 a techno-phobic cop investigates a crime that may have been perpetrated by a robot, which leads to a larger threat to humanity.

    Bicentennial Man (1999) - Trailer
    Based on the novel The Positronic Man and on the short story The Bicentennial Man, the movie tells the story of Andrew, an android that endeavors to become human as he gradually acquires emotions.

    Nightfall (1988) -  Trailer
    The people of the planet Aeon, blessed with six suns, have never experienced night. When an archeological excavation uncovers evidence of an ancient catastrophe, all signs point towards the impending darkness of the very first Nightfall. Panic erupts as the suns slowly disappear one by one. Science struggles agains superstition as the people race to comprehend the approaching Nightfall... the end of the world as they know it.

    Fantastic Voyage (1966) - Trailer
    A diplomat is nearly assassinated. In order to save him, a submarine is shrunken to microscopic size and injected into his blood stream with a small crew. Problems arise almost as soon as they enter the bloodstream.
    Unlike the others, this one is not an adaptation from Asimov's novel, but contrariwise the novel is an adaptation of the movie.

    I, Robot: The Illustrated Screenplay by Harlan Ellison (1987) - Some Info Art by Mark Zug
    An unfilmed screenplay based on the full text of several of the stories in Asimov's collection.

    TV Adaptations:

    Little Lost Robot (1962) - Part 1 Part 2 Part 3 Part 4

    The Caves of Steel (1964) - Clip

    Satisfaction Guaranteed (1966) - Clip

    Isaac Asimov's Robots (VCR Mistery Game) (1988) -  Part 1 Part 2 Part 3 Part 4 Part 5 Part 6
    A VCR game based off the Robot Series:
    "Elijah Bailey, the greatest detective of the 23rd century, is faced with his toughest assignment ever... and he needs your help. For the first time in 100 years, someone has attempted a murder. With the advent of the Robot, crime has virtually disappeared. Yet a murder attempt has been made, and it may happen again. Who did it? Was it an Earthling, a Spacer, or the unthinkable... a Robot?"

    Trantor by ~Lululaouff
    Sunset of robots (end)Meanwhile,Stor, Golan and Fallom moved into Gendibals workroom. It seems to look like long and thin corridor. It consists of big flowerpots with different kinds of flowers. Stor most like flower from Callisto. Clay was magnetic and flower floated over it. Whole stem and leaves were white, created by tiny flower. Room seemed to be curtly furnished, just necessary minimum of technics. There sounded a waterfall behind  Stors chair, with delicious aroma of forests torrent.  Bottom of the small water hole was transparent, so man could see small fishes, which were talking with voices of young people.
    Stor entered first and turned off talking of fishes. He raised light and turned on imitation of forest. Just worktable was seen. There was mirrored picture of Hari Seldon on the desk, as he sit in armchair, without a hat,  just like in time deposit.
    Fallom went second. At entrance, she began to recite:
    Now it's time
    To lost the mind
    So fly forward
    like a bird

    Sunset of robots (part I)Falom - about 486 FE Solaria – 693 FE  Moon – There is less information about her life. It is important mention, that is main initializator of Great unity both of Seldons Foundations, what was done at the end of her life. Place and details of her death are constructed from legends, but place and years are probable adjustments.

    Shadow made by sunset came slowly down on Moon. Earth got up laisy from horizont and looked like Moon in first quater from Earth. Fallom gazed at red lithening Earth, how it grew. There was no such view on  Solaria  and everytime Earth went in first quarter she took to Moons ground to see it.  In this silence her thoughts had gone out of her head long time ago and she watched calm.   She received that infinite blackness and ligthplay of space. Somewhere far away , her star shined- it was source of her motherplanet  - Solaria. She grew up far, far awy from that planette, but inside she felt, she didnt c    Sunset of robots (part I) by ~aleshorvath
    Sunset of robots(part II)Stor had been about two miles(10560 ft) above ground. He  evaded on airboard and alternating went up and down. White grumous hair was whiffing from mask,which helped him to breath in this high. In usual cases he wouldnt need this mask, but in  120 kph(75mph) he would  stiffle.  Hands were widespread and occasionally he made a tumbles.
    "Good work, First!" screamed out his companion Trun Melivar through transmitter. Trun was young, barely thirtyseven years old man, long and thin. His head was recently skinned. His beard until his chest was in strong opposition to his head. He had got  a browngrey cap, which elastic copied his skinned head. He came  from Drefil, planet in central sector. This planet had got no ground like  other planets.There was only water on entire planet with manmade air-islands,was settled just three hundreds years ago using antigravitic technics like in times of Cleon IV, and powered by motors from Terminus in times of Hobert Mallow    Sunset of robots(part II) by ~aleshorvath

    As long as the one and only admin here is still alive and kicking, the club is still active. :) I don't really have time to organize contests and activities, but I definitely accept submissions and blog entries (which are to be sent as note to the club and I will publish them). :)

    Not one image inspired by Nemesis in the entire group? I am disappointed.
