    Is this going to be a remake of the Paul Verhoeven movie or a movie faithful to the book? I got the impression it was going to be the latter and it scares me. At this point in the US, such a movie would awfully seem like the kind of militaristic propaganda Trump would love for his expansionist Putinesque fantasies.

      Helldivers II is very popular right now, and that game is basically a comedic over-the-top parody of Starship Troopers (the movie, not the book). If the studio has any sense about them, they’ll remake the film in the vein of Helldivers and not actual imperialist military propaganda like the book.

      what in the hell are you smoking? a movie like that would not get made in hollywood in the current 2025 climate. It will be turned into an 2SLGBTQIAZ+7 epic love song where a trans man saves all of humanity to the tune of Wham!‘s 1983 classic albulm ’ Fantastic’

        Awww… you poor thing.

        I promise you that in the event where something like this were to happen, there will be plenty of places where you can hide so as to not trigger your irrational fear of others being happy.
