After a few false starts over the years, a Starship Troopers reboot is now in active development at Sony's Columbia Pictures with District 9 and Chappie writer-director Neill Blomkamp leading the charge. Let’s hope it goes better than the invasion of Klendathu.
The Hollywood Reporter shared the exclusive on March 14, stating Blomkamp would write and direct a new adaptation of the classic sci-fi novel by Robert A. Heinlein. It's been reported it won't stick close to Paul Verhoeven's highly satirical and exaggerated take and will instead "go back to the source material," which received criticism over its glorification of the military and a fascist society, among other things.
