New Foundation trailer teases Apple TV Plus’ bold sci-fi epic

Last week Apple revealed that Foundation, the upcoming sc-fi present based mostly on a sequence of books by Isaac Asimov, would debut on Apple TV Plus in September. Now we now have one thing even higher: a correct trailer.

It’s the primary good take a look at the present for the reason that debut teaser final yr, and it reveals what seems to be an bold sequence that would give Apple’s streaming service its personal must-watch epic alongside the strains of Game of Thrones or The Witcher. The trailer exhibits lavish units, big-name stars, and, after all, a child floating in a tank.

The present, which was first introduced in 2018, is being helmed by showrunner David S. Goyer, and stars Lee Pace and Jared Harris. According to Apple, the story “chronicles a band of exiles on their monumental journey to save humanity and rebuild civilization amid the fall of the Galactic Empire.” Here’s Goyer on the variation:

In the many years for the reason that Foundation sequence first noticed print, Asimov’s prophetic science-fiction work has by no means been extra related than it’s now. Growing up, I devoured Foundation and dreamed of at some point seeing it on display screen — however a function movie didn’t appear large enough to embrace the ambition. Thanks to the broader panorama of streaming and a worthwhile partnership with Apple and Skydance, we’re capable of convey the sequence to the display screen in a means that actually does it justice. Foundation has at all times been on the prime of my bucket listing and I’m honored I get to play an element in lastly bringing it to life. Whether you’re a fan of the novels or just somebody craving a mind-blowing epic, I’m excited to share with you what we’ve created.

Foundation will debut on September twenty fourth, with the primary three (of 10) episodes out there initially. Subsequent episodes will debut each Friday after that. It will observe one other high-profile launch, with Ted Lasso’s second season premiering in July.
