I'm a huge Kubrick fan, but he would be the last man you'd pick to bring your favorite novel to film. His imagination and instincts were so strong, the source material was just a jumping-off point and he would change everything until it was unrecognizable.

@logicbranch I don't know if he would have done that or not. He did create and worked with Kubrik on 2001 A space odessy. I think if they were both alive it would be made by them. What better team to do this?

Great video. I'm just reading Rendevous with Rama now and this video helps me visualize it better. You did a great job with the interior too.

[KCLion]

@samysam1313 I didn't make the film. Two excellent graphic artists did. I used footage from their films to make this. I have permission to use them. I did however compose the music for this. I'm glad it helped you visualize the book better.

Kubrick must be spinning and screaming from his grave. Kubrick was the only one with stones and imagination to do it

[KCLion]

@glnutt1 Kubrick would have been great for this.

Theres enough talent here to make a fine adaption of the novel! I would savor every second of such a major motion picture film! Lets gets together and pay honor to such a great man and fill the void of the science fiction relm that so desperately needs an good production. Hope I'm not stuck with Star Trak 531/2

Hey! This is what I needed when I'm down. I found out this year that the Rendezvous movie directed by Daivd Fincher was cancelled. A dead project! If he doesn't do the film adaption of one the greatest science fiction novels ever written then somebody needs to bloody step up and do it! Especially since we lost Sir Arthur C. Clarke in 2008...he died in Sri Lanka (the father of satelite comminucations and the writer of 2001 space odyssey)God Bless you Mister Clarke. I will miss you. Fine film

And what for great music!

[JThirschman]

And Trent Reznor would most likely do the soundtrack.

[JThirschman]

Fincher would have made a perfect film out of this novel.

so you stole the video then cut and paste new york skyline inside a tube?

(twin towers, central park) SHAME ON YOU

Read the books 1st before you make something out of context and grossly innacurate

my wife has just been admitted to hospital.... i took rama with me to pass the time.... i wish some one would make a full film,,,, the stairs, the darkness and the crash on the northern half.... such a good book...... and the short videos make the minds eye work harder,,,, thanks

The ocean would flood New York when Rama accelerated. Look at that huge wall on the side, and NY is only at sea level.

@KCLion Maybe you're right, it's an exaggeration to call The Shining "unrecognizable", although Steven King did dislike it. But remember the book 2001 didn't exist before Kubrick's involvement, it was a collaboration, so naturally it matched the film pretty well. In fact, the contract required Kubrick to sign off before the book could be published, and he intentionally delayed a long time because he wanted his film to come out before the book!
