It’s been a long time since film maker Ridley Scott made a new science fiction flick hasn’t it? Ridley Scott who brought us “Blade Runner” and the first “Alien” is making a return to sci-fi in a film titled “The Forever War”. Ridley has been planning to make “The Forever War” 25 years ago but never got around to it, but now he finally has the opportunity.

“The Forever War” will be adapted from the novel by Joe Haldeman, the story is about a soldier who battles an enemy in deep space, only to return home to a planet he doesn’t recognize 20 years later.

Ridley Scott has always been known to be switching from different genres in film from sci fi, fantasy, drama, thriller, etc.

“The Forever War” sounds great. Lets just hope Ridley don’t overdo the CGI effects in the film since it’s sci fi.
