Ridley Scott's FOREVER WAR Going 3D - This Movie Sounds Awesome!!

[Sussudio]

Ridley Scott announced that "I’m filming a book by Joe Haldeman called Forever War. I’ve got a good writer doing it. I’ve seen some of James Cameron’s work [with Avatar], and I’ve got to go 3D. It’s going to be phenomenal."

Here is some background on the novel/plot for those that don't know the premise:

The Forever War is a 1974 science fiction novel by Joe Haldeman. It won the Nebula Award and Locus Award in 1975 and the Hugo Award in 1976. Both an action-laden and contemplative story of an interstellar war between humanity and the enigmatic Tauran species, it deals with themes like the inhumanity of both war and its attendant bureaucracy, as well as with the results of time dilation space travel which may cause a soldier to return to his home only after centuries have gone by.

I have to admit this sounds like a really awesome movie and a welcome return for Ridley to the sci-fi genre.
