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.”
I may not read a whole lot of science fiction books, but Joe Haldeman’s 1974 novel “The Forever War” is one of the few that I have read. It’s a great book, too, one of those (as you would imagine, the book being published in 1974) allegories to the Vietnam War, which was just then starting to come to an end, but had already gone for a decade or two already. “Forever”, as it were. The book itself was a great read, and I’ve always been intrigued by the idea that Haldeman was one of those guys who takes his time with every single word he puts to paper in his novels. In any case, Hollywood is finally bringing “The Forever War” to the big screen, courtesy of FOX2000 and “Alien” and “Blade Runner” director Ridley Scott.
