It seems that the plans to redo Starship Troopers have
changed. It was initially reported that a remake of director Paul Verhoeven's
cult sci-fi film was in the works, but now according to producer Neal H. Moritz
there is also a possibility that the Robert A. Heinlein sci-fi satire on
militarization, and propaganda might be turned into a TV series.
Can't say I'm excited with either possibility. The recent
remakes of Verhoeven's classic works such as Total Recall and RoboCop lost all
of their sharp commentary and were turned into generic and pointless actioners.
Then again, maybe this is exactly what the property
needs after a series of direct-to-video and animation later managed to
completely destroy whatever made the original great.
