only in theaters for 1 day

Paul Verhoeven's sci-fi classic Starship Troopers is getting another sequel. Starring original cast members Casper Van Dien (Johnny Rico) and Dina Meyer (Dizzy Flores), Starship Troopers: Traitor of Mars was written by Ed Neumeier, the original Starship Troopers screenwriter.

Traitors of Mars takes place—you guessed it—on Mars. Johnny Rico has been demoted and sent to a remote Martian outpost, which—you guessed it again—gets attacked by space bugs.

It's hard to tell from the trailer which kind of Starship Troopers movie this is. The description suggests a straightforward sci-fi/action flick, but hopefully, they'll go the Verhoeven route of absurd dystopian satire, arguably the original film's true legacy as a cult classic.

not sure how they resurrect Dizzy...

what would be hilarious is if there's a background shot with Matt Damon's "space pirate" vehicle cruising along in the background

And a possible reboot coming

The studio is not remaking the film but is said to be going back to the original Heinlein novel for an all-new take. No personnel from the 1997 film are involved.

A shot of the bugs eating Damon would be funnier.  L:-)

not sure how they resurrect Dizzy...

Or why Rico looks like Slade Wilson / Deathstroke now instead of his voice actor who played him in the live action movie.


The animated series, most or all of which I own, was rather interesting as a mix of closer-to-codex and Veerhoven's satire of fascism (not dystopianism).
