Ridley Scott takes on 'Forever War' - Entertainment News, Los Angeles, Media - Variety

Fox 2000 has acquired rights to Joe Haldeman’s 1974 novel "The Forever War," and Ridley Scott is planning to make it into his first science fiction film since he delivered back-to-back classics with "Blade Runner" and "Alien."

Based on Blade Runner and, to a lesser extent, Alien, Scott's one of the few directors who might do the book justice, but I'd have to say I don't have a lot of hope for this.
