Primer
Arthur C. Clarke RIP
Posted by The Visitor at 6:46pm.
Posted in Random Geek Talk , Sci-Fi & Fantasy, USA & Canada, Obituaries.
If you love great science fiction, then you definitely love the work of Arthur C. Clarke, and you surely love Stanley Kubrick’s 2001: A Space Odyssey.
The sci-fi legend has died in his adopted home Sri Lanka. Clarke, who had been fighting post-polio syndrome for a long time, suffered breathing problems.
At this point, we have to also wonder if the David Fincher/Morgan Freeman project, the film adaptation of Clarke’s Rendezvous With Rama, is ever going to get off ground. The last news we had about it was late last year when Freeman assured us that the pre-production was still on, except it’s taking a bit more time. IMDB lists it as to be released in 2009. From the look of things, with Fincher busy with a million other stuff, it could likely be released in 2010, which would be a momentous and fitting year for Clarke fans.
