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.
