Hollywood is making another Starship Troopers movie because you know, the last one came out SO long ago in 1997!

Technically the Last Starship Troopers came out in 2008.... I think Rico was the only returning character.

Wow, that's just ridiculous.

Revisiting Total Recall is bad enough.

Are there NO script-writers left?

Sure there are script writers.

But to get the big money for big budgets, you need to guarantee the money-men that it's going to be a guaranteed hit. The days of throwing $100 million at a flop are gone. Today if you lose money in movies, you get fired from the industry, basically.

The movie nazi says: "NO MOVIES FOR YOU!"

It's a really odd system for sure.

What if the remaining Beatles put out a re-imagined Sgt. Pepper's every ten years? I guess there are re-issues, and greatest hits, in the music industry but they are generally unadulterated.

there's idea for a spoof movie (like epic movie, date movie and scary movie).

Call it... wait for it... "80's Movie"!

Top Gun has already been parody'd though.. so... meh..


how about "Greatest Hits" and merge all the top grossing movies into one story line.

A little odd, I still love the first. Maybe they're going to go by the book this time?
There are so many good scifi books out there waiting to be made into movies, I wish they would just pick some popular favorites and put out some good fresh material.

If they make it closer to the book I would buy it but I bet they go all hollywood and take everything that made it a good book and throw it out for special affects and soap opera'ism.
