Today we’re going to show you eight silent ways to excite a geek
Waiting for a science fiction film from Ridley Scott is a bit like waiting for a bus. Nothing for 25 years and then two turn up at once.
As I’ve already mentioned, Scott is planning to bring Aldous Huxley’s Brave New World to the big screen. It now seems that Brave New World will be the film he makes after he’s brought Joe Haldeman’s The Forever War to cinemas.
“I first pursued ‘Forever War’ 25 years ago, and the book has only grown more timely and relevant since,” Scott told Daily Variety. “It’s a science-fiction epic, a bit of ‘The Odyssey’ by way of ‘Blade Runner,’ built upon a brilliant, disorienting premise.”
The Forever War tells the story of William Mandella, who returns from from weeks or months of active duty in the interstellar “Forever War” to an Earth which, after centuries of change, is no longer his home.
