I would like to know more.

^ 😂

I can tell you that they are planning to go back to the source material.

I will lower expectations. I think Verhoeven's is a masterpiece and pretty impossible to top. Hell, I even kind of like the mediocre straight-to-video sequels. But Blomkamp is capable of something good, so we'll see. I might be interested in a more book-accurate adaptation.

I liked Elysium, but Chappie was utter unwatchable shit. Even with a Hugh Jackman mullet!! I learned recently, though, that it seems hiring that south African band as actors was apparently a big mistake. Not only did they suck, but apparently the guy was a total a-hole and Blomkampis had to keep him away from the real actors because he didn't want to ruin his reputation in Hollywood. That explains a lot about that movie.

I've heard with book of Starship Troopers they get to wear Power Armor in it, Which the cartoon that was done had them in it.

I’ll believe it when I see it. Blomkamp can’t seem to get anything off the ground anymore.

Buzzkill 😛

I also went down that rabbit hole recently. The wife is also complete human garbage. They were made for each other

Starship Troppers (1997) is a guilty pleasure of mine, been I fan since I first watched it in the theater.

So bring this on, Blomkamp is perfect to direct and if he's following the source material very close, Heinlein is a terrific SciFi writer. In fact, think I'll finally read the book.

At least Rob is going to read the novel and finish it, Unlike Paul Verhoeven.

Riv is just jealous because he can't read books
