Unfimable? From what point of view. Visually I don't see any real problems with today's effects wizards. From a story point of view, the fact that you have an entirely new set of characters every few chapters could be problematic to the studio exec/marketing types.

Off hand I can't think of any movies where each act has an entirely different cast (unless you count Sheldon).

I think the biggest issue might be it's perceived lack of originality since many of it's themes have been copied....

Corisant = Trantor, etc....
