Starship Troopers Reboot From Neill Blomkamp Coming

[ZariusTwo]

Deadline has confirmed that a new Starship Troopers is happening at Sony, with District 9 filmmaker Neill Blomkamp writing and directing.



The new movie will go back to the 1959 source material by Robert A. Heinlein and not be based on the 1997 Paul Verhoeven movie. That original movie was something of a misfire at the time of its release, made for $100 million and only making $121.2M worldwide. Clearly, legacy has been on the side of the military astronauts vs. bugs movie, as it propped the careers of Denise Richards, Casper Van Dien and Jake Busey.



Plot details for the new incarnation is under wraps, but I betcha the movie is about astronauts versus bugs.
