Eon (2019/2020) a novel by Greg Bear may be a movie soon. Let's hope so. Trailer:

________________________________

Based on the brief glimpse we get of the closing credits in the trailer Butch posted, this appears to be a Russian production. IMDB has nothing about it.






But the book does indeed seem interesting.

Here's what it says about it.
________________________________

New York Times bestselling author Greg Bear's Eon is now available for the first time in trade paperback.

The 21st century was on the brink of nuclear confrontation when the 300 kilometer-long stone flashed out of nothingness and into Earth's orbit. NASA, NATO, and the UN sent explorers to the asteroid's surface . . . and discovered marvels and mysteries to drive researchers mad.

For the Stone was from space — but perhaps not our space. It came from the future — but perhaps not our future. And within the hollowed asteroid was Thistledown, the remains of a vanished civilization. A human English, Russian, and Chinese-speaking civilization. Seven vast chambers containing forests, lakes, rivers, hanging cities . . .

It also contains museums describing the Death, the catastrophic war that was about to occur, and the horror of the long winter that would follow. But while scientists and politicians bickered about how to use the information to stop the Death, the Stone yielded a secret that made even Earth's survival pale into insignificance.

It took me literally minutes to get to the bottom of this with some basic Googling.

There's no movie. That trailer (link) was a runner up in the 'EON - World Within Worlds' (CG Challenge XX), 4 October 2006 - 31 January 2007. (link) It was made Ludmil Lazarov.

The winning trailer is here (link).

Again, there's no movie.
