Why producers by sci-fi IP and then not use it.

ROADTRIPPIN’ co-hosts Robert Meyer Burnett and Mike Bawden respond to a letter from a listener who asks why producers spend the money necessary to purchase established, science fiction intellectual property and then develop projects that have very little in common with that IP. Two examples include the recent FOUNDATION series (based on Isaac Asimov’s Foundation Trilogy) and THE MAN WHO FELL TO EARTH (developed by Alex Kurtzman’s Secret Hideout production company).
