The Forever War
Ridley Scott has been planning to bring the Joe Haldeman book, The Forever War to the big screen.The science fiction novel serves as an allegory for the Vietnam War. It seems that this is a few steps closer to reality as Joe recently let the
writer’s identity drop:
Andrew, anybody can write a script for any book, especially THE FOREVER WAR,
but it might not be a productive use of one’s time. Scott has a script; last
I heard, it was the fourth rewrite. I’ve talked to the writer — he has good
credits, like “Unforgiven.”
Unforgiven was written by David Webb Peoples, who has also worked on films such as Leviathan, The Blood of Heroes, Fatal Sky, Twelve Monkeys and Soldier. Since Ridley Scott has been the director of the all time mega favourite Scifi Thriller Bladerunner, it seems that we may be in for a treat if this film does get made.

Well the third and last episode of The Lost Room miniseries aired yesterday evening concluding the mysterious drama.
The miniseries centred around detective Joe Miller who lost his daughter in The Lost Room and tries to track down objects from the room that held magical properties in an attempt to retreive his daughter.
The miniseries also featured various cabals that vied for the objects placing the detective in danger.
After watching the final episode i really hope that they turn this drama into a fully fledged series. The last episode did clear up some of the mysteries but also left a few unanswered questions and the possibility of a continuation.
The miniseries created a world of mystery, suspense and possibilty and the chacters were well thought out and interesting enough to keep you wanting to know more.
I really hope that we get a chance to revisit the Detective and The Lost Room.
