Supposedly, Scott is quite psyched up about making The Forever War into a movie.

Ridley Scott or James Cameron? Cameron made
Avatar. Did Scott help with visual effects? I've read that Cameron's already working on an
Avatar sequel. Scott just finished the much-panned Robin Hood retread.
I really like the book. Based on
Kingdom of Heaven and
Robin Hood, I'm a little worried that Scott is well past his prime (i.e.
Blade Runner and
Gladiator). I hope he- or whoever takes on the FW film project- doesn't screw it up. It's really not the stuff that CGI blockbusters are made of.
