From the man who brought you Blade Runner and Alien............

Ridley Scott intends to direct The Forever War

As you may have guessed by my nom-de-internet, it is one of my favourite SF books (along with it's (almost) prequel, Forever Peace, and it's sequel, Forever Free.

Here is the wiki summary of the book

V wouldn't be the same with out Jane Badler as Diana, the ultimate queen of sci-fi camp. :D

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other Snippets
 

And here was me thinking it was Servalan :)

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other Snippets
 

Servalan is definitely right up there with the best of them - but you can't beat an alien uber-bitch with an 80s perm. :D

Tries and finds a shower of liquid oxygen now......:)

Now that is just great News about V, My son has just got addicted to the TV series i bought years ago on DVD.

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other Snippets
 

Eek, not sure what to make of V. Didn't like the remake of Battlestar Gallactica at all.

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other Snippets
 

I remember when they first said they would remake BSG, and changed starbucks sex, I thought no way and boycotted it.

Then on an offchance i picked the miniseries up on budget DVD and went WOW! what have i missed.

S1 was great, S2 was amazing, fell flat a bit in S3, but came back very strong in S4. Can't wait for the last 10 episodes. for once a remake that is worthy of something. I just hope they do the same standard for V.
