The man who directed Alien and Blade Runner will return to the genre that made him famous. In an interview with Eclipse Magazine, Ridely Scott was asked whether he would plunge again into the world of futuristic film:

"I am going to do one. I waited for a book for 20 years and I have got the book. I am not going to tell you what the book is but that film is going to probably be written within the next month. That will definitely be what I do next after Nottingham, the Robin Hood film that I am doing now in England."

Well Scott might not be so keen to tell you, but Io9.com speculates the book he refers to is none other than Aldous Huxley's Brave New World. They further speculate that the film adaptation would potentially star Leonardo DiCaprio, whose father owns the rights to the book.

Brave New World is a satirical novel that imagines a dystopian future where humanity lives in a carefree, technologically advanced society free of poverty and war. The snag is that the human stuff, like family, religion, and pain has been suppressed by a drug that is rationed out by the government.
