Just found out from Moviepilot that Starship Troopers, a cult scifi classic is being remade.
I mean how can you have it without NPH a young Denise Richards and the shitty acting...
I'm crying inside right now.

Fine by me as long as Uwe Boll doesn't direct it.

I heard about this the other day, I'm pretty excited for it. I wonder if the remake will take the same satirical approach that the original movie did, or if it will be closer to the message espoused by Heinlein in the book.
Who am I kidding, they'll probably water it way down and do neither.

I saw this on /Film not long ago. It's true!

WRONG! Those are the BEST discussions!

Hollywood is shit right now. No original ideas what so ever. Some things don't need to be remade at all. I mean, a TOTAL RECALL remake is in post production atm.
However, a film like The Running Man, could be redone now with all the bullshit manufactured reality tv, and really, really shit over the (reality TV) genre from a great height. I wish reality tv would DIE!
Oh - don't mention the fact that films that were full of ultra violence, harsh language etc, being remade with pg13 sensibilities. This is what will happen with SST. Guaranteed."The further a society drifts from the truth the more it will hate those who speak it" - George Orwell

Oh how fine Denise was. NPH should be a requirement, too. Aliens, hot chicks, and grenades make for a good movie.

The Starship Troopers movie was different enough from Henlein's book that a reinterpretation could actually work quite well. I wouldn't mind seeing a new take on the story.
Frankly, I'm happy about any Sci-Fi that makes it into cinema. It seems like good Sci-Fi has been replaced by various Superhero flicks.

Aye, Hollywood is a joke. They do know that you can't remake Governator movies, right? It should be a law. Who the hell is going to replace him?

I do think that Running Man would fit very well into today's society. We are getting closer and closer to using convicts for entertainment every day.
Twins would be like the hardest movie ever to remake. How can you replace not just Arnold, but Devito too? Talk about two of the most unique actors ever.I like sandwiches

Hmm, not sure if pleased or worried by that news. Originally Posted by Youarefired

Anyway, back to topic. I loved Dizzy in the film, Denise Richards character should've been skewered.
I do believe that using the novels original ideas and themes could definitely work. They just have to go all out. Taking a bit here and there won't work for a remake. Saying that however, people have said that the Conan remake was actually closer to the source material than Arnies film but, it didn't catch on with the movie goer. So who knows?

The book is a classic, and an excellent read. The movie was a disgrace to it, hopefully the new one will not be.

The movie is so bad it's good, as a stand alone from the book at least. Originally Posted by Stormcall

Just wait for Ubisoft to completely dominate with the Assassin's Creed movie. Producers will be lining up to give creative control to the game developers to make even better movies.
