Originally published in 1973, Clarke's Hugo and Nebula Award-winning novel centers on a group of human explorers in the 2130s who intercept a cylindrical alien starship that enters the solar system. Villeneuve previously made Prisoners and Blade Runner 2049 for Alcon. and is a work for our time,” before adding: “It’s perfectly fitted to our friend and collaborator Denis’ brilliant sensibilities and specifically to his love and passion for science fiction." In a joint statement issued by Alcon, co-CEOs Broderick Johnson and Andrew Kosov said Rendezvous with Rama is “one of the most intelligent works of fiction in the genre. Morgan Freeman's and Lori McCreery's production banner Revelations Entertainment will also produce (Freeman had previously held the rights to the book). The filmmaker behind Dune and Arrivalis looking to adapt Clarke's novel Rendezvous with Rama for Alcon Entertainment, according to The Hollywood Reporter. Alcon will finance and produce the film.

If there is nothing pushing him along the rotation, he shouldn't feel any centrifugal force at all, right? Of course, the air itself is going to be moving along with Rama's rotation, but would the air near the hub be moving fast enough to exert a serious sideways force on him, causing him to take part in Rama's rotation? Theoretically, if there was no air, he could lower himself almost all the way to the surface (which from his vantage point would be moving by very fast), and still remain weightless the entire time.Let the film adaptations of classic sci-fi films flow! After taking on Frank Herbert ( quite successfully, it turns out), director Denis Villeneuve is now ready to tackle another sci-fi heavyweight: Arthur C.

But I'm not sure if this is true.Ĭentrifugal force is not like gravity, which reaches out to pull you down. He is warned not to drop down towards the surface, as lowering at all will increase the weight (or centrifugal force) he feels. He sets off from the hub, weightless, with the intent to ride along the axis the entire length of Rama.

One character has a flying contraption with him. The characters in the book enter Rama through an air lock at the hub at one end of the cylinder's central axis, where they are weightless they then descend a series of ladders and stairs, getting heavier as they go, until they reach full weight at the surface. Rama is a 50 km long, 16 km diameter cylindrical alien artifact that is rotating fast enough to provide a 0.6G artificial gravity on its long inner surface. I'm currently reading Arthur Clarke's Rendezvous with Rama.
