Another Troopers?

Paul Verhoeven wowed and splashed us with entertaining trash back in ’97 with STARSHIP TROOPERS. Not only was it a bloody good time, but we also had the chance to check out Dina Meyers naked in a shower! Then came the lackluster STD affair STARSHIP TROOPERS 2, featuring a chick who looked like Meyers, but wasn’t. Apparently part 2 made a lot of money…


MovieHole is reporting today that there’s now a STARSHIP TROOPERS 3 in the works, from writer Ed Neumeier. Stepping away from the concept of PART 2, and more in sync with PART 1, PART 3 is said to even have more cast members from the first installment to return – including Johnny Rico himself, Casper Van Dien. Not that that should surprise anyone who’s been to the STD section of their video store lately, but very cool none-the-less. According to his official site (yes, there is such a thing), Dien says “The script is along the same line as the first. It is Awesome”.


I can only hope he’s right. Monster space movies are my cup of vodka, and as STARSHIP TROOPERS was one of my favorite movies back when it came out, I’d really like to see a sequel do it some justice. Stick around as we find out more upcoming news on STARSHIP TROOPERS 3 as we hear it!
