"Rendevous with Rama" movie

The last proper sci-fi book turned into a movie that I saw was Hitckhikers guide, and it was a bit disappointing. I guess this would be good, if they could pull it off.
 
I really liked "Contact" though it wasn't a smashing commercial success. And that was awhile ago, now.

Yea, I worry that a screen version of Rama will end up a special effects spectacular. After all, a great deal of the book is a description of Rama.

Time will tell. I find it interesting that Morgan Freeman (the actor, I assume) is behind this attempt to bring it to the screen.

Is he a science fiction fan and I've never known it all these years? :)
 
Yeah, I think so, he was in Deep Impact and loads of better movies. Lots of folk in Hollywood actually are. He also has a lot of clout and his own production company.
 
Well, I wish him the best. It would be nice to see something different, and maybe even thought-provoking on the big screen.
