Rendezvous with Rama

[nigelh]

According to the movies.com website, there was afilm of this Arthur C Clarke book due to be released in 2003, but no updates to the entry have been made there since Nov 2000! And it certainly hasn't been released. I tried asking movies.com, but predictably got no reply. So, does anyone here know what happened to this film project? I'm pretty much assuming that it's one of those projects that's failed and will never see the light of day, but that doesn't stop me wondering! The Rama books by Clarke conjure up wonderful images that would be great to see in a film (or even a series of films) and I'd have thought that Hollywood's recent record with sci-fi films would have seen this one through, but.... Cheers, Nigel P.S. By the way, I have Google-searched, but found very little info on this project - well, actually, none really! And it's not easy to come up with subjects on which Google knows nothing.... ;-)

Sorry, this was the first time I;ve used this site, and I failed to take note of the different subject categories. Doh! I've reposted this question under the "Film & TV" heading now. Cheers, Nigel

This seems to have been a movie-school short. lasting 4 minutes - see http://us.imdb.com/title/tt0388369/
I find imdb.com by far the best website for movie information.

Sorry, that link doesn't seem to work. Try http://us.imdb.com/title/tt0388369/ But if that doesn't work either, do your own search on imdb.com.
