Since Wolfgang Petersen is slated to direct Uprising, which happens to be a Sci-Fi. It fits because they are writing Ender's Game as we speak( Orson Scott Card is making changes to one of the drafts ), and are in reality just waiting for a director, so they can fine-tune the project, and start Casting.

When it comes to sci-fi "anything"... Scott annihilates Spielberg. Spielberg does corny sci-fi. Where Scott puts more thought into it, along with amazing environment design. Scott is a master world and character-builder. And both Alien films along with Blade Runner "still" look good today, if not better than the shoveled crap rushed to the big screen today that's marked "sci-fi". Chris and lets be honest.

They're two different directors and Scott would hate having Spielberg talking in his ear during production. I think Ridley isn't the type who respects lazy directors who rush into projects for a quick buck. Ignoring Spielberg's advice would cause conflicts on set. That being said Scott has such a amazing eye for detail and picks great artists to do his fantasy sets and costumes. Not to mention special effects I like to think Alien and Bladerunner still hold up pretty well effects-wise considering their age. I wonder if Ridley won't just surprise us all and go another route. He did want to make Alien 5 with Cameron, I'm sure that'll never happen though. Whatever he ends up doing I'm sure it will raise the bar of the genre yet again. I'd love to see a modified version of "Brave New World" there were a few dull moments and a couple action epic action scenes added wouldn't hurt either.

It only took a short Google search to find several references to Aldous Huxley's Brave New World. Supposedly it will star Leo di Caprio. diCaprio's family knew Huxley and his family.

There is no way it could be faithfully adapted to the screen with anything less than a NC-17 rating. Blood is virtually unmakeable and I dont expect this project to ever come to fruition with not only Ridley but any director. Blood Meridian makes No Country For Old Men seem like ginger beer man.

The other side of that might offer a challenge to the Scott to distinguish the film. Perhaps, he embraces the similarity and wants to update his approach.

I was lukewarm about GITS being adapted to live action, but the possibility of someone like Ridley Scott behind camera would have me truly excited.

But he could end up painting himself in a corner if it resembles Blade Runner too much, since GITS is so heavily influenced by it to some degree.
