The Forever War, by Joe Haldeman, is finally being made into a movie. Ridley Scott (Blade Runner, Aliens) will be directing.

Please, please get it right!

Please, don't even mention that abomination. Heinlein fans everywhere will spend the rest of their lives trying to convince the unsuspecting victims of that farce that it bears no relationship beyond it's name, to the wonderful story Heinlein told.

I agree it was awful, but its awfulness arose in part from the fact that it *did* have a relationship beyond its name to the novel. It was like a vicious caricature or parody of the original. If it were simply unrelated, it wouldn't be so dismaying.
