Or had, anyway, since it sounds like the script is already finished and turned in.

In any case, I love me some “Forever War”, and so does Ridley Scott, who is currently trying to adapt the book into a movie. It’s going to be very interesting to see. And of course by “interesting” I mean “I hope he doesn’t FUBAR this thing up.”

In Hollywoodland, MGM is the movie studio that no one wants to be like — a studio with a ton of big-name, profitable franchises (the “Lord of the Rings” films, the James Bond movies), but due to a variety of factors (stupidity, incompetence, etc), has nearly run itself into the ground.
