I wish I could describe the near physical pain I feel that "Rendezvous with Rama" isn't yet a great Denise Villeneuve movie, and the "Night's Dawn Trilogy" isn't yet a multi-season series on Apple TV.
The list goes on.
- WalterBright 2y agoI've had enough of the Dune remakes, too. The world doesn't need more Planet That Went Ape remakes, either. The Mote in God's Eye would make a fine miniseries.
- badpun 2y agoPlanet of The Apes remakes are not movies, they're just a way to reliably turn 200 million dollars into 300 million dollars - similarly to all the American comic book crap. As long as the multiplier stays above 1.0, the process will continue.
- Der_Einzige 2y agoGlad to see this stuff called out for being low quality here. I prefer the term "capeshit".
- auggierose 2y agoI want "Gateway".
- ghaff 2y agoIn fairness, IMO the latest Dune(s) were the first that weren't deeply flawed. I do agree that The Mote in God's Eye--and perhaps associated shorts would make a fine basis for a series--hopefully one that ignored the sequels.
- currymj 2y agoVilleneuve is actively working on Rendezvous with Rama, it's likely to be one of his next projects.
- ghaff 2y agoRendezvous with Rama is basically a travelogue. I enjoyed it well enough but there are probably 100s of SF books/stories I would choose to adapt to film before that one. But we'll see. I may well be wrong but the necessary adaptations probably won't be loved by fans.
