Based on a book by Joe Haldeman, Ridley Scott’s next project after he completes the long gestating Robin Hood film is going to be a science fiction flick called The Forever War. And while the project is still way off in the distance, the director is already talking about going big with 3D.

It’s been almost 25 years since Joe Haldeman’s novel’s debut, but Ridley Scott may finally bring it to a theater near you.
