Re: PG-13 Starship Troopers reboot in development! Would You Like to Know More?

Brutal, Hollywood is now remaking movies that are barely older than a decade. The economics for Hollywood have totally drained the system of any creativity and we are left with endless rehashes of existing properties. So how soon before we see a rebooted Matrix? Maybe one this time with coherent scripts for the sequels...

the only reboot I would be interested in is if it were MORE violent, and MORE satirical. I have no interest in Justin Beiber from Klendathu.

I'm OK with it if it has more nudity

So the new Total Recall will probably be pg13 and now a new Starship Troopers. I think they would still have to make the new Robocop a hard R if it has any chance of being good. But I wont watch a new Starship Troopers.

PG-13 Basic Instinct is right around the corner.

Obligatory "Have you seen the movie? We'll always have the original!" Fuck you, person who says that.

Not sure why people are up in arms about this. The original is still out there for us all to fap to.

What? You mean no more charisma-free non-acting from Casper van Dien and incessant babbling-fool grinning from Denise Richards? They're raping the classics, man!

Not interested. The first is a guilty pleasure that I really like. This sounds like a mess.

If Kristen Bell is in this and buck arse naked, I'm 100% for it. Otherwise eat it money grubbing asshats.

MEDIC!!!!

I'm ok with a PG-13 remake/reboot. If it's closer to Heinlein's original story then I'm all for that. We WILL still have the original (and it's much less worthy sequels). No harm, no foul.

I'd like to see what they can do making it closer to the source material.

If it's pretty much going to be alive action Exosquad, then I'm there.

If they're so keen to be able to do the suits, they should make an Armor movie and not remake this.

I would like to see a more faithful reproduction of the book as I thought it was far more interesting than the film, but I don't know how popular that would really be. I think it would fly over the heads of the regular movie going audience and a lot of other people will just read it as facist propaganda.

I'd rather see them do a movie patterned after Armor too (Felix kicked some ASS in that book!):

While my interest would be renewed with JesseCuster's idea, I don't think you two understand the PG-13 rating.

Is this a play to distract him from making that Jesus rape movie?

Put me in the camp that found Verhoeven's take much more entertaining than the actual novel. Not really interested in a version that's more like the book.

Verhoeven knew exactly what he was doing when he cast them. To me, it is a classic. But yeah, they're horrible actors.
