Excited? Appalled?
Ridley Scott is going to do a version of Forever War. He's always been a great visualist but he's always lacked the story chops. Maybe a great book will help? But he's looking to James Cameron for inspiration. I am very conflicted.

Quote:Ridley Scott, who is developing a film version of Joe Haldeman's seminal SF war novel The Forever War, told reporters in Britain that James Cameron's Avatar is inspiring him to shoot War in 3-D, according to SlashFilm.
"I'm filming a book by Joe Haldeman called Forever War," Scott reportedly said. "I've got a good writer doing it. I've seen some of James Cameron's work, and I've got to go 3-D. It's going to be phenomenal."
First published in 1974, The Forever War chronicles the interstellar war between humanity and the enigmatic Tauran species.
