Ridley Scott to shoot ‘The Forever War’ in 3D
Ridley Scott will be returning to the type of movie that first made him a fan favorite with his adaptation of the science fiction book ‘The Forever War’ by Joe Haldeman. The legendary director of ‘Alien’, ‘Blade Runner’ and ‘Legend’ is making another big leap with ‘The Forever War’. Scott revealed that he will join the company of James Cameron by shooting ‘The Forever War’ in 3D.
“I’m filming a book by Joe Haldeman called Forever War. I’ve got a good writer doing it. I’ve seen some of James Cameron’s work, and I’ve got to go 3D. It’s going to be phenomenal.” — Ridley Scott
I haven’t read the ‘The Forever War’, or anything else by Haldeman, but from the title of the book, combined with Scott’s recent string of films and the comments from Scott regarding the story’s timeliness and relevance to current events, I might venture to guess the theme holds similarities to the political climate surrounding our [U.S.] current war(s). Then again, that’s merely my guess from left field.
“I first pursued ‘Forever War’ 25 years ago, and the book has only grown more timely and relevant since,” Scott told Daily Variety. “It’s a science-fiction epic, a bit of ‘The Odyssey’ by way of ‘Blade Runner,’ built upon a brilliant, disorienting premise.”
Book revolves around a soldier who battles an enemy in deep space for only a few months, only to return home to a planet he doesn’t recognize some 20 years later, Scott said. — Variety
