I think Bicentennial Man has a certain charm, although I'm not spending my money to buy it.
I'd sworn there was some other recent Asimov movie project, but IMDB seems to indicate I'm imagining things. I have a faint recollection of a supposed adaptation of The Caves of Steel which would move the time from the far-future to the present day, and the location from super-urban New York City to the jungles of a generic Central American country, and the plot from a locked-room murder mystery to hunting down killer robots, but that doesn't seem to have much documentary evidence unless it was ideas briefly considered and rejected for the I, Robot movie.
Rumors of how easy or hard the various author estates are to get along with I've missed, but I'm in a position where it's easier than ever to ignore movie-making news.
