Lori McCreary, Morgan Freeman's producer and business partner as well, told the David Fincher.cjb.net fan Web site during an interview, that Fincher (best known for directing Fight Club, Alien 3, Seven) will direct the feature-film version of Arthur C. Clarke's science fiction novel Rendezvous with Rama. The movie itself will be computer-animated, and McCreary and Freeman's Revelations Entertainment production company will be producing it with a budget of more than $100 million.

Fincher has worked with Freeman previously worked on Seven. "Fincher has the unique ability to create new worlds, which we really need for Rama," McCreary said. French illustrator Moebius will provide production design for the film, she added.
