The film will be produced by Scott Free. Vince Gerardis and Ralph Vicinanza will executive produce.
“I first pursued ‘Forever War’ 25 years ago, and the book has only grown more timely and relevant since,”
Scott told the trade.
“It’s a science-fiction epic, a bit of ‘The Odyssey’ by way of ‘Blade Runner,’ built upon a brilliant, disorienting premise.”
The book revolves around a soldier who battles an enemy in deep space for only a few months, only to return home to a planet he doesn’t recognize some 20 years later, Scott said.
