'Starship Troopers' Reboot in the Works
NOVEMBER 03, 2016 11:13am PT by Borys Kit
'Starship Troopers' Reboot in the Works (Exclusive)


Photofest
'Starship Troopers' (1997)

Mark Swift and Damian Shannon, the writing duo behind the upcoming Zac Efron-Dwayne Johnson 'Baywatch' movie, will pen the script for the alien-bug war film.
The bugs are coming back.

Columbia Pictures is rebooting Starship Troopers, the 1997 sci-fi film directed by Paul Verhoeven.

The studio has tapped Mark Swift and Damian Shannon, the writing duo behind the upcoming Baywatch movie, to pen the script for a new theatrical feature film that would relaunch a potential franchise.

Neal H. Moritz, the producer behind the Fast & Furious franchise, is producing with Toby Jaffe, with whom he worked on the studio's remake of another 1990s sci-fi pic, Total Recall.

Starship Troopers is based on the sci-fi war novel by Robert A. Heinlein that told the military life of a soldier named Johnny Rico who moves up the ranks as mankind fights a war against alien bugs.

Verhoeven took some of the novel's themes and ran with them, making a movie that satirically took on fascism and militarism and echoed propaganda films like Leni Riefenstahl's Triumph of the Will. It starred Casper Van Dien, Denise Richards and Neil Patrick Harris.

Starship Troopers was a mixed success at the time of its release but did achieve a cult following. During the DVD boom of the 2000s, it became a mini-franchise for the studio, which produced three direct-to-DVD movies.

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.

Matthew Milam is overseeing for the studio.

Shannon and Swift, who also wrote 2009's remake of Friday the 13th, are repped by UTA and McKuin Frankel.

Then, not so much. Next I saw,

Now I hope whoever is paying for this loses every penny.

I now feel old. This is the first movie I worked on that is being remade. I would guess the suits will be done this time. I thought our bugs were pretty amazing and I was very proud of them. I actually thought the movie was entertaining too. I'm not a remake purist so I'll wait to judge. Not loving the team assembled though.

Seriously though the material deserves better treatment than that horrible Hollywood excretion of 1997.

Nice! The bugs were a great SFX for the mid 90's, and definitely were not the reason the movie didn't do better at the theater. Loved the Robocop-esque commercials they would play from time to time.

Still one of my favorite scenes from the movie -

As for the reboot, I guess I'll wait and see. The people behind Baywatch and the new Total Recall don't inspire a ton of excitement, but if they stick close to the source material maybe they'll find something.

Loved the book and the original movie, while different than the book, was still good. I hope they stick closer to the book this time but I'm not holding my breath.

Nah, it would be easy to top that movie. Just make another movie...but actually use the source material.

I completely agree. When I was growing up I was a huge Heinlein fan, and Starship Troopers was my favorite book. I was bitterly disappointed when I saw the movie, because it completely failed to capture the spirit and the essence of the book. It was like expecting to see The Dark Knight and seeing the old Batman TV show instead.

I like the sound of it being more like the book, but I'm not going to get my hopes up.

By the way, I've re-watched the movie a few times since then. Once I got rid of my expectations and viewed the movie strictly on its own merits, I have to say I liked it.
