Wonder how that will go. It is a very slow paced story with little to no action. More akin to 2001. I would love to see it, but wonder how it will fare for a mainstream audience or if the studios want to add high paced elements to the script. However, if they handle it well, it should be possible to do a faithful adaptation that captures the sense of wonder and mystery of the novel.
He's able to show scale really well, as proven in Dune Part 2, which I think is important for Rama. What I'm most curious about is if he'd just be leaving the first story as a stand-alone thing,...

What I'm most curious about is if he'd just be leaving the first story as a stand-alone thing, or following it up with the Rama II/Garden of Rama/Rama Revealed trilogy. I know the latter can be divisive but people may not appreciate the
pseudo-spoiler for the first book
open-ended nature of *Rendezvous*.
I could see it playing out like Arrival or something like that. Frankly, I'd love to see more sci fi that doesn't cut to a chase to keep things interesting.

I fully anticipate changes to the original story to explore the ship through the characters' experiences and perspectives, which would be wholly new compared to what was in the book. All of Villeneuve's movies are from character perspectives on the plot and world, and the changes we've seen him make to previous adaptations really shows it, and also how he did Sicario compared to Sicario 2 and the other Taylor Sheridan written movies done by other directors.
It might seem mean, but Freeman is 88 years old in June. Give him a cameo, but he needs to get comfortable with knowing his leading-man days are timeless, unrivaled, but also behind him. So long...
It might seem mean, but Freeman is 88 years old in June. Give him a cameo, but he needs to get comfortable with knowing his leading-man days are timeless, unrivaled, but also behind him. So long as there's a solid vision making this it's own thing, I'm on board.
I'm cautiously optimistic that we've crossed some kind of action threshold where story and drama are being given more weight in my made-up trifecta of cinematic propulsion. Empty drama action is just headache-inducing boredom as much as any other kind of empty cinema.
I hope so, though it's not a commonly known pair of books. I think Timemaster would be more likely to get an adaptation first, though I'd really rather we not.

Villeneuve is the king of the cerebral slow burn. He can do it.
