This could be too nerdy - even for you guys - but Roland Emmerich is confirmed to direct sci-fi supremo Isaac Asimov's epic Foundation trilogy, and in 3D to boot. In space, no one can hear you EXTREEEEEEME!

Roland Emmerich is not a man best known for subtlety. He is, to put it crudely, best known for fucking shit up.

Whether he wants to admit it or not, Roland Emmerich is fast becoming known as the ‘Master of Disaster’.
