Rendezvous With Rama
Potential Cast: Morgan Freeman

When Morgan Freeman started his own production company in 1997, the first film announced was Rendezvous With Rama, an adaptation of 2001: A Space Odyssey author Arthur C. Clarke's novel about a human crew who investigates an alien starship. Regarded as a classic among the sci-fi community, Rama also boasted a director worthy of such material, Freeman's Se7en helmer David Fincher. Ever since then, the film has become a veritable black hole of Freeman and Fincher's careers, emerging every so often online in the form of a conceptual sketch or a teaser clip, but nothing more. As Fincher went on to direct Fight Club and Panic Room, the $100-million film always seemed to be next on the director's slate, yet we're still waiting for this Rendezvous to happen.

Project Status: Freeman's Revelations Entertainment still has a poster of Rama prominently displayed on its home page with Fincher as the film's director.
