And it promises to be a real big one: I just red a small paragraph in my TV magazine, that his film company bought the rights for Joe Haldeman's quite famous Science fiction novel "The forever war", in which Scott was interested since 25 years now. A daughter of 20th Centfox finally helped him to get the rights.

Wowh!

So far, I do not know anything more. But Ridley Scott and this novel sounds like an unbeatable combination. I know the novel, it really is a good one. In Scott's hands it can only turn out a winner.

Edit:

But reading this, it may be that the wait will be a long one, since he seems to do a different project first:
