Early Foundation books are literally just dudes smoking and mansplaining galactic events to one another. You don’t need a CGI budget to actually film foundation - you only need a room and few good actors who can carry dialogue for hours.
From my part I find the narrative device of smoking&mansplaining a … curious … choice. But never the less the books are surprisingly good!

cf the BBC Radio production of Foundation which was pretty good given it was largely just people talking and some Radiophonic Workshop sound effects.
(It was available on archive.org a couple of years back, may still be.)
