After that though , he ’s just signalise on to helmanother sci - fi classicfrom an sheer legend , Arthur C. Clarke . Villeneuve will aim Rendezvous with Rama , based on Clarke ’s award - pull ahead 1973 novel .
“ This is one of the most intelligent works of fiction in the genre ; it lay as many interrogative as it does solution , and is a work for our time , ” Alcon carbon monoxide gas - CEOs Broderick Johnson and Andrew Kosov said in a press departure . “ It ’s dead accommodate to our admirer and collaborator Denis ’ brilliant sensibilities and specifically to his passion and warmth for science fable .
