It's been a while since anyone even mentioned this sci-fi pseudo-franchise.
"Starship Troopers", originally a novel written by Robert A. Heinlein, was adapted for the big screen by Paul Verhoeven, in 1997. The movie didn't do very well at the box-office and only managed to score an Oscar nomination for its awesome visual effects, but it did become a cult-favorite and spawned two awful direct-to-video sequels, a short-lived animated TV series and a couple of videogames. The franchise's fanbase seems to have impressed studio chiefs, because rumors of a remake are beginning to surface. According to these rumors,
"Fast Five" producer Neal Moritz and
"Thor" screenwriters Ashley Edward Miller and Zack Stentz are working out the project's first steps. It's still too early to say for sure if the remake will happen, but what we do know for sure is that they're willing to give it a go. For reference, here's a trailer of Paul Verhoeven's
