A new "Starship Troopers" movie is in the works. "District 9" filmmaker Neill Blomkamp is writing & directing. It will be based on the 1959 novel and it won't be a remake of the 1997 movie. [2025-05] (comicbookmovie.com)

There hasn't been any new news since around May. But that hasn't stopped Imdb from churning out "articles" that are merely copy-and-pastes from many months old info like the article I posted.

I like Blomkamp and I enjoy his movies so I'm torn, on the one hand I want power armor pew pews and bug stomping (given he was fucked out of an aliens movie) but on the other the original cannot be topped and no doubt this one won't be a satire of fascism.

It's a strange match. Blomkamp's other films paint him as a lib, so I don't see him going full "Heinlein was right", and there will almost certainly be references to the original film ("would you like to know more"). My guess is that this is marketing fluff that is not actually representative of what will be in the film, because there's no way in hell they would greenlight an actual faithful adaptation, it's just gonna be quippy post marvel action slop.
