bowman9991 writes "Ridley Scott's next science fiction film, his first since Blade Runner, will be a 3D adaptation of Joe Haldeman's The Forever War, an action packed novel about the impact of the time dilation effect on soldiers returning from an interstellar war against the mysterious Tauran species. Scott recently decided to move to 3D after watching footage of James Cameron's yet to be released science fiction epic Avatar. The Forever War, Cameron's Avatar, and Scott's other upcoming science fiction project, Brave New World, will make the next five years a fantastic time to be a science fiction movie enthusiast."

The traditional way to describe it is:
- Starship Troopers is written for World War II Vets in the early stages of a Cold War world
- The Forever War is written for Vietnam Vets in the later stages of a Cold War world

(who would give a lot to see a Starship Troopers which was an accurate adaptation of the book as written by Heinlein)
