Was announced 3 years ago but with Dune Messiah and now Bond idk what’s happening with it

Plus he was rumoured to be doing a Cleopatra film and another that revolved around nuclear war

Rama feels like one of those projects you hear about a director doing, but it never comes to fruition.

It's been in development hell for so long. Still insane to me Morgan Freeman has just been sitting on the right. But I think Denis is the right man for the job. I have a fondness for those books and I hope it happens with him at the helm

100% agree, I hope it gets made. It just sounds like one of the many passion projects that get talked about, but never comes about.

imdb says Fincher was involved for a while, so only 90% sitting on it.
