Director Denis Villeneuve considers Rendezvous with Rama his first true hard sci-fi film—grounded, realistic, and closer in style to Stanley Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey than Dune’s epic scope.
Eric Roth wrote the screenplay. The production will showcase Villeneuve’s signature slow-burn tension, vast minimalist visuals, and immersive practical/VFX sequences inside the giant alien cylinder.
The project will be budgeted at $190–250 million but is currently behind Villeneuve's upcoming James Bond film.
