They already made this movie.
A movie adaptation of a game, which was derived from a movie, which was a satirical adaptation of a book from 1959.
Creativity is overrated.
The book was more of an commendary hiw trooppers are trained during the training camps and how the enemy is demonized. Also lots with right wing political messaging
The movie was satire about military focused society and how zelous the average trooppers can be and there are lots of references how soldier alienate them selfs from the enemy.
The games continue with the same satiric line on completelly new media. But its even more clear that the players are not the good guys and that the normal grunts are not seeing the whole picture. It also has commentary about how average human has no real value beond what they can do for the overlords benefit.
So far i think these stories have had enough of their own story and message to stand behind to justify their existence. Unlike some cash grabs like disneys live action versions of their older movies.
The movie was plenty creative, because Verhoeven didn't even read the book.
adaptationception. and adaption of an adaption of an adaption.
SST was great DAMN SHAME THEY NEVER MADE ANY SEQUELS. NOT A SINGLE ONE! No one can convince me otherwise!
Anyway, hopefully The Helldivers movie holds a candle to SST and doesn’t screw the pooch like Starship Troopers 2-A̴̰͉͙̐̈́͜Ḫ̵̢͖̪̹̀H̷̡̓̎̈́͠H̶̬͚̉̽͂̈̚ ̶̡̭̦͉̉M̵͕̤͐̚̕Y̵̹̮̲̗̽ ̷͔̔͂͆̑̾̓H̴̝͕̓E̴̛̖͎͒͛͐̑Ä̷̡̪͎́͊̄D̴̫̖̍̿̆͜! THERE ARE NO TERRIBLE STARSHIP TROOPERS SEQUELS!
