Starship Troopers – The Remake

Apparently someone thinks that the classic sci-fi movie (book is better) directed by Paul Verhoeven needs to be made all over again.

As bad as it was, Starship Troopers is one of those “I love how bad it is” types of movies, plus it has some epic bewbage and a giant brain bug. Oh I almost forgot, you do not need to remake anything starring NPH, ever.

It’s hard to believe that Starship Troopers’ original movie was made back in 1997, but like anything that sits around too long in Hollywood, it’s getting the ol’ remake treatment by producer Neal Moritz (the same derp who’s remaking Total Recall). The only ray of sunshine that I can see is the team doing the writing is the same crew who were responsible for this year’s smash hit X-Men: First Class, my favorite X-Men movie thus far.

As to when or what we can expect, you know as much as I do right now. All we know is that people are moving ahead with this project. I pray that it’s more like the book this time around.

I sit upon my throne as the owner/shogun of this site, WatchPlayRead. But it wasn't always so. I too have had blogspots, I've done other community blogs, I've even written professionally for other sites out there...yet none of them provided the content I had a real passion for. It is then that I became tired of being a small cog in a big machine, and of writing about nothing but game news after game news article and the periphery that comes from such schlock, like knowing who Michael Pachter and Bobby Kotick are. I decided to start MediaWhoreNetwork.com and ran up my post count there for about 2 years, commenting about any and everything that I wanted to. I even started a weekly podcast that I feel has come into its own. It wasn't until earlier this year that I realized that having the word "whore" in your URL might be a bit limiting to my potential audience. I then made the website and its branding move over to WatchPlayRead.com.
