Columbia Pictures is plotting a new Starship Troopers movie, setting District 9 filmmaker Neill Blomkamp to write and direct an adaptation of the classic sci-fi novel story by Robert A. Heinlein.

    Is going to remake Galaxy Quest next? Maybe I’m having a “Get of my lawn” moment, but leave my precious alone. 😭

        Jurassic Park is loosely based on the book as well, at least that was my take after reading it.

        So is this new movie (series) going to be a closer following to the books?

          Not as loosely as the Bourne movies, probably. I was very confused until I heard that the script writer was banned from reading the books, and based the script on a one-page summary.

      You can still enjoy the movie and the book. You can ignore the upcoming film. New media cannot ruin old media, follow the example of the matrix fans who say “shame they never made a sequel”

        True, I’ll take the Psycho remake as a better example. I am also in the boat that only the first Matrix film exists, but I’m not saying the others are bad.
