As we first reported last week, Variety has confirmed our exclusive story about screenwriter Jeff Vintar being hired to adapt the DC/Vertigo comic book Y: THE LAST MAN as a feature film for New Line Cinema. Vintar will follow his work on Y by adapting Isaac Asimov's FOUNDATION novel as two separate screenplays for 20th Century Fox, to be possibly directed by Shekhar Kapur.

The FOUNDATION screenplays will base their source material on three of Asimov's novels, FOUNDATION, FOUNDATION AND EARTH and SECOND FOUNDATION. As our source told us, Vintar's two scripts will be titled FOUNDATION and SECOND FOUNDATION.
