Rendezvous with Freeman!

MTV Movies Blog » Freeman and Fincher ‘Rendezvous’ For Sci-Fi Space Thriller:

“I play the captain of the spaceship Endeavor that is charged with rendezvousing with this thing from outer space to find out what it is [and] what its intentions are,” [Morgan] Freeman said of his role in “Rendezvous with Rama,” the celebrated story from the mind of science-fiction legend Arthur C. Clarke.

And indeed it gets better:

with “Fight Club” director David Fincher at the helm

Lemme here a Woo. And, indeed, a Hoo.

Morgan Freeman, David Fincher, and one of Arthur C Clarke's best works?

I'm doomed, aren't I, it's going to be awful. *crosses everything and hopes it isn't*

So how did you like David Fincher's last foray into SF, the beloved "Alien 3"? :)

(ps I liked it)

Didn't know he'd made it TBH, but also liked it, nice and claustrophobic, very British in style.

I liked it, but I can't watch the bit with the doggie :(

Okay, that has potential :)

They're making a film out of Rendezvous with Rama???

Oh. My. Goodness.

That's either going to be 'I worship the uber-coolness' or 'you guys need to be spit-roasted in hell'! Either way, finding out should be entertaining.

'I worship the uber-coolness' or 'you guys need to be spit-roasted in hell'

Hmm, remind me closer to the date to do a poll with those questions? In fact, I may just start to use them as options anyway...

Wow - if the manage it. I wonder if they'll rope in Rolf Harris?

...metaphorically 'rope in', or literally, they're in the outback now, lassoing rolf-a-roos and hoping to catch the man himself?

Not sure on why it's relevent, but it's a cool vid.

I might give away spoilers if I explained it, but if you've read the book, it should be apparent, I would've thought.

Oh, and it's hinted at in the Wikipedia entry, where the last line was thought by some to mean the book was the start of a trilogy.
