Ridley Scott has revealed that he intends to make a third science fiction film.

The British filmmaker directed the acclaimed sci-fi films Alien and Blade Runner, but hasn't worked in the genre for over 25 years.

In an interview with Eclipse, Scott said: "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."

Scott's next film A House Of Lies - starring Leonardo Di Caprio and Russell Crowe - is scheduled for release later in the year.
