"The Foundation" would require a director that wanted to make a work that would make Asimov proud. I have thought about this in the past, and think that a person such as Peter Jackon would probably do well. He did very well with "Lord of the Rings" - staying very close to the original books.

Consider your audience.
1) Foundation geeks who will tear into and nitpick every stinking variation from the Holy Text that makes it to the final cut.
2) People who's minds will fold like a pair of deuces facing a straight flush at the scope of the movie, who after reading RottenTomatos responses from moviegoers of the first type, will skip out and pick up the Matrix from Blockbuster on their way home.
