Not necessarily a reimagining, but a premise. A concept.

    I want a faithful adaptation of Asimov’s Foundation, where it’s the 1940s in space like in the novels.

    Guy gets to planet, immediately buys a physical newspaper with physical cash. Takes a taxi cab. Everyone smokes constantly. Space soldiers are bribed with dishwashers and fridges, computers barely exist. Every desk has an integrated atomic ashtray to vaporise cigarette butts. Scientists carry bulky pocket calculators.

      I’d love a proper retro-futuristic TV series. The latest Fantastic Four film showed that people will swallow a retro-futuristic vibe. Just something unironic with rayguns.
