Another classic Isaac Asimov science fiction novel is getting a live-action adaptation, with a crack duo of writers bringing The Caves of Steel to the big screen. Isaac Asimov is one of the most prolific sci-fi writers of all-time, alongside other notable authors in the genre, like William Gibson, Frank Herbert, Richard Matheson, and Gene Wolfe. Many of his works have been adapted to the big and small screen in the past, including Apple TV+'s Foundation, the Will Smith-led I, Robot, and Bicentennial Man starring Robin Williams.

Per Deadline, Asimov's 1953 sci-fi detective novel, The Caves of Steel is being adapted into a feature film. The movie is in the early stages of development, but the project has found its writers. John Ridley, the Oscar-winning screenwriter behind 12 Years a Slave, is teaming up with Cheo Hodari Coker to co-write the script. Coker is best known for creating Marvel's vastly underappreciated Luke Cage series,...

According to internet reports, 20th Century Fox, the home of sci fi features "Star Wars" and "Alien", will next adapt sci fi author Issac Asimov's novel "The Caves Of Steel".

The book was first published as a serial in "Galaxy Magazine", October to December 1953, with a Doubleday hardcover following in 1954 :

"...'Elijah Baley' and 'R. Daneel Olivaw', live three millennia in Earth's future, a time when hyperspace travel has been discovered, and a few worlds relatively close to Earth have been colonized, including fifty planets known as the "Spacer worlds". The Spacer worlds have low population density and use robot labor very heavily.

"At the same time, Earth is overpopulated with strict rules against robots, with the human population living in 'caves of steel', vast city complexes covered by huge metal domes, capable of supporting millions, with underground transit connecting to malls and apartment blocks.

Twentieth Century Fox plans to adapt the Isaac Asimov’s science fiction mystery novel “The Caves of Steel” on to the big screen. The studio has hired director Henry Hobson to helm the project. It will be Hobson’s directorial debut. His previous work mainly involved designing main and end titles for several films including “The Help,” “Bad Teacher,” “The Hangover Part II,” and “Sherlock Holmes.” John A. Scott III is brought to the project as the adaptive screenwriter. Here is the overview of the novel: In the future you will walk down the crowded streets of New York City not knowing if the bodies brushing past you are humans or androids. With tensions already mounting between humans and robots, the murder of a Spacer must be handled in a politically-correct fashion so Detective Elijah Baley is assigned a robot partner. “The Caves of Steel” is the first novel in...

Finally I managed to get through a book in a day. Thank you Jeebus Isaac Asimov. I can't really say that I am a "fan" of Asimov, at least in the same sense that I can say I am a fan of Stephen King; until this book, I had only read two of his works, I, Robot and Solar System. I have another one of his to read later, Nightfall, and while I guess technically I should have read that one first, I couldn't turn down a good robot story. I love old school science fiction (The Caves of Steel was written in 1954) for one reason, and that is its predictions for the future that constantly turn into reality. I also love reading older stories like this to find comparisons in later works of fiction, both in film and literature. At 209 pages The Caves of Steel is not a wordy book,...
