Morgan Freeman, who worked with Fincher on Se7en, has been attached to star in the film for almost a decade.
However, Fincher told First Showing that Freeman's health problems were a contributing factor in the film's demise.
Fincher said: "It looks like it's not going to happen. There's no script and as you know, [Morgan Freeman's] not in the best of health right now. We've been trying to do it but it's probably not going to happen."
Based on Arthur C. Clarke's (2001: A Space Odyssey) 1972 novel, Rendezvous With Rama details man's first contact with alien life when a 50km long cylindrical craft appears near Earth.
