Rendezvous with Rama is an upcoming American epic science fiction film directed by Denis Villeneuve. It is based on the novel of the same name by Arthur C. Clarke and produced by Alcon Entertainment and Revelations Entertainment.
Premise
[edit]The film is set in the year 2131 and follows a group of humans sent to intercept a giant cylindrical alien starship that enters the Solar System. The team of explorers attempts to learn the mysteries of the vessel, believing it could be mankind's first contact with intelligent alien life.
Production
[edit]In 2001, David Fincher was attached to direct.[1] Fincher stated in 2007 he still planned to direct,[2] but by 2008 he stated it was unlikely to be made as no script was written.[3] Fincher reiterated his desire to still make the film in 2010, but that finding the right script was still an issue.[4]
In December 2021, it was announced that Alcon Entertainment acquired the film rights, with Denis Villeneuve hired to direct the film. Alcon co-CEOS Broderick Johnson and Andrew Kosove would also serve as producers.[5] In November 2023, Eric Roth revealed he had written a treatment of the film.[6]
