Denis Villeneuve to Direct Adaptation of Sci-Fi Novel ‘Rendezvous With Rama’ by Arthur C. Clarke

I am STOKED! This is one of my all time favorite novels. Easily in my top 10. Villeneuve is probably the best director to tackle it, and excited that Morgan Freeman is one of the producers. With modern CGI, this could be a masterpiece as long as they stick to the novel, and don't try to "Hollywoodize it".

If you don't know the story, or forgotten it, here's a taste. Art school CGI short created 11 years ago:

Christians warn us about the anti-christ for 2,000 years, and when he shows up, they buy a bible from him.
