Warner Bros. secures rights to The Forever War, set to star Channing Tatum

May 2, 2015 by Scott J. Davis

Deadline has reported that the bidding war between Warner Bros. Pictures and Sony Pictures over the 41-year-old sci-fi novel The Forever War by Joe Haldeman has been won by Warner Bros.

Richard Edlund had held the rights to the book for around 27 years, and the project had previously been set up at Fox for few years, with Ridley Scott attached to direct.

But many failed attempts later, Warner will now attempt to resuscitate the project, with Channing Tatum (Foxcatcher) attached to star and Jon Spaihts (Doctor Strange) set to try his luck at scripting in what the studio is hoping could prove to be a new franchise.
