Fincher has been attached to the project for several years with actor Morgan Freeman.
Fincher tells First Showing -"It looks like it's not going to happen. There's no script and as you know,Morgan's not in the best of health right now. We've been trying to do it but it's probably not going to happen."
The story sees a group of astronauts investigating a 30-mile long hollow cylindrical alien spaceship. Inside they find a very alien world and something may still be alive.
Freeman has admitted there is a lot of difficulty in translating this book into a film...
