As reported by Variety , the Major's management has taken off the shelf the film adaptation of Isaac Asimov's famous novel Steel Caves .Work on the project started back in 2011, when John Scott 3 ("Infected") was appointed the scriptwriter of the fantastic detective.

Now it became known that the Oscar-winning Akiva Goldsman ("Games of the Mind"), who already has experience in adapting the works of the cult science fiction writer, will be engaged in finalizing the script.

Steel Caves is set in the distant future, when the colonization of fifty planets around the Earth led to the creation of the civilization of the cosmonites. The inhabitants of these worlds bathe in luxury and actively use the labor of robots. The blue planet, in turn, suffers from overpopulation, which is why huge underground cities are created on its surface.

Daniel Olivo tasked with investigating the murder of the Cosmonite Ambassador, who tried to convince Earthlings to weaken their laws against robots ...  Five years ago, Fox was planning to donate the director's chair for Steel Caves to Henry Hobson ( Infected ).

In 1964, the novel Asimov already formed the basis of one of the episodes of the British television anthology Story Parade.
