A reboot of 'Starship Troopers' is in the works at Sony, with 'District 9' and 'Chappie' director Neill Blomkamp attached to helm.

While exact plot details remain closely guarded, the new “Starship Troopers” is said to draw inspiration from Heinlein’s original military story, rather than pulling from the fascist send-up that characterized Verhoeven’s satirical adaptation.

Yeah, you don't want to send up fascists today...

(Wonders if The Great Dictator and Verhoeven's Starship Troopers would make a good double-bill.)
