re: #64 Dr Lizardo

Well, Denis Villeneuve’s next project is supposed to be Rendezvous with Rama, which is pretty cerebral sci-fi. Not too many ways to turn that one into a CGI action spectacular along the lines of Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire.

I could foresee a number of ways to do that within the general plot of the book. Mainly involves massively compressing the early parts of the novel and probably kicking off the movie with the humans entering Rama with little time spent on exposition on why the craft and is, how the humans spotted it, and how they got to it.

That allows the movie to spend most of it’s time on or in Rama and the humans interacting with various bits of it. Which can be tweaked as needed to provide lots of action and/or blowing things up.
