Ridley Scott NOT to Reunite with David Peoples
It was reported that David Peoples, Blade Runner scribe is currently working on a screenplay for the Ridley Scott adaptation of Joe Haldeman‘s 1974 novel The Forever War.
With the fourth rewrite of the script it looked that this project is finally moving forward, (especially when we all know the fact that Scott and Peoples had previously worked together on Scott’s above mentioned seminal science fiction film).
But, looks that we all had a bad rumor…
Today, we’re here to update this news, because, according to Deadline this is an “outdated information” and it’s Matthew Michael Carnahan (from State of Play) who’s currently working on the story that goes like this:
“The Forever War is a contemplative story of soldiers fighting an interstellar war between humanity and the enigmatic Tauran species.
Ridley Scott To Direct “The Forever War”
Ridley Scott will direct an adaptation of Joe Haldeman’s 1974 science fiction novel “The Forever War.”
The project marks the British filmmaker’s return to the science fiction genre. He previously helmed “Alien” in 1979 and “Blade Runner” in 1982.
“The Forever War” focuses on a soldier who fights an enemy in outer space for only a few months and returns home to a planet he doesn’t recognize some 20 years later.
Ridley Scott intended to follow “Blade Runner” and “Alien” with “The Forever War,” but rights complications delayed his plans for more than two decades.
