A reboot of 'Starship Troopers' is in the works at Sony, with 'District 9' and 'Chappie' director Neill Blomkamp attached to helm.

I'd love to see a movie that actually adapts the book. Heinlein has written that the book carried through to a logical end what happens when only veterans can vote: They find a way to always be at war with something.

Hence the war with the bugs, which are everywhere, different, and just scary enough.

An actual adaptation of the book will not detract from the prior movie, which nailed the propaganda but little else.
