Previously, I was skeptical of Ridley Scott directing an adaptation of Joe Haldeman’s The Forever War. But things might be coming together.
Reported as coming directly from Joe Haldeman himself, Scott teamed up with a script writer he has worked with before, David Peoples. Peoples wrote the screenplay for Unforgiven and Twelve Monkeys. Oh and that iconic Blade Runner flick.
Upon further review though, Peoples has moved on from the writing project. The screenplay is now in the hands of Matthew Michael Carnahan. Nothing particularly outstanding on his short resume, but no particular dogs either.
The movie could still end up in development hell, but these bits of news make me a little less skeptical.
