The Columbia Pictures studio intends to shoot a new version of the science fiction movie Starship Troopers. According to The Hollywood Reporter, the movie will be scripted by Damian Shannon and Mark Swift, who previously worked on the script for the feature-length Malibu Rescuers. The project will be produced by Neil H. Moritz.

It is argued that the new movie adaptation of the work of science fiction writer Robert Heinlein will be much closer in content to the literary source than the 1997 version of Paul Verhoeven, which was, rather, satirical interpretation of the plot, ridiculing militarism and war propaganda. The movie stars Casper Van Dien, Dina Meyer, Denise Richards, Jake Busey, Neil Patrick Harris, Clancy Brown, Seth Gilliam, Patrick Muldoon, Michael Ironside and other actors.

Despite the advanced special effects for its time, the project failed at the box office, earning only $ 120 million with a production budget of $ 100 million. However, this did not prevent him from gaining cult status among fans of science fiction. In the future, the Columbia Pictures movie studio released several sequels, which were released on disk media.

The timing of work on the new movie adaptation is not specified.
