Rendezvous With Rama

[bugout]

I see that they're going to make Arthur C Clarke's novel into a film. Let's hope that it doesn't cop the usual Hollywood treatment.

Uh, mind giving us a bit of information, for those of us who haven't read this book, or plan to?

It's about some guy who has an appointment to meet a japanese martial artist who turns into a girl when splashed with cold water. And his father turns into a panda.

So it's about Ranma Satome?


How was I to get that from Rama?

Actually, it has nothing to do with Ranma 1/2.

It's a book about a massive space ship in the earth's Solar System.

They will have to do some drastic changes to the script, otherwise it will be more booring then 2001: A space oddessy and without the ominous black monoliths.

So like that old Disney space "Thriller" movie?
I think it was called Blackhole or something...
