"Starship Troopers" are back. And they've found the man to lead them into battle. Neill Blomkamp has been hired by Columbia Pictures to write and direct a new version of the story, this time going back to the original story by Robert A.

After a long wait and a bunch of disappointing straight-to-DVD sequels, Starship Troopers is still trying to live forever with a theatrical reboot now in development.

The “Terran Federation” of Heinlein’s original “Starship Troopers” is run entirely by military veterans, and people have to serve in the armed forces in order to vote or hold public office.
