Rendezvous with Rama May Never Happen

Arthur C. Clarke’s works are pretty hard to translate to the big screen. In keeping with that tradition, David Fincher let out word that his Rendezvous With Rama, an adaptation of the noted author’s epic sci-fi novel, looks to be dead.
Speaking to First Showing, Fincher plainly stated that “it looks like it’s not going to happen.”
“There’s no script and as you know, [Morgan Freeman's] not in the best of health right now,” he explained. “We’ve been trying to do it but it’s probably not going to happen.”
The story follows a group of astronauts investigating an alien spaceship that is passing through our solar system. Inside they find a very alien world and something that may still be alive.

Hi. Just found this site and posting; so R with R is commisioned partly made and then abandoned, before I even noticed! Thats a crying shame; not only is it a marvellous book, but, with recent hysteria about ‘lord of light’ coming down in spaceships, very relevant. If its going to happen, its goig to be like ‘Rama’. anyway, another great idea in production hell, and probably another Hollywood remake about to hit the screens. A crying shame… K
