15 Announced Movies That Will Probably Never Happen
4. Rendezvous With Rama
What We Know: A film based on Arthur C. Clarke's beloved 1973 sci-fi novel has been in the works since the early 2000s, with Morgan Freeman wanting to act and produce while David Fincher was attached to direct.
Why It Won't Happen: It's been almost five years since any significant word on the movie came out, and with Morgan Freeman turning 80 next year, it's possible his enthusiasm for getting the film made has simply lessened.
If it doesn't get rolling before Freeman leaves us, there's pretty much zero chance of anyone else picking up the reins afterwards. Plus, assembling the budget for something so expensive and challenging to mainstream audiences will be nothing short of a miracle.
