Closer to original story? In

By director of District 9? Super in
======================
Neill Blomkamp is doing his part. The “District 9” and “Chappie” filmmaker is attached to write and direct a new film adaptation of “Starship Troopers,” the 1959 sci-fi novel by Robert A. Heinlein that was last memorably brought to theaters in 1997 by director Paul Verhoeven. The new project comes from Sony‘s Columbia Pictures.

Would you like to know more?

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.

Along with writing and directing, Blomkamp is producing with his longtime collaborator Terri Tatchell…….

 
The name attached makes me not dismiss it out of hand
 
As with every reboot of a tv series or movie I have ever seen I am sure they will screw this up too.

In this case while the movie was fun, and a poor attempt at satire, was nothing like the book and had no intention of being like the book so it's possible this will be a better movie, and more accurate adaptation, while also not being close to as much fun to watch.
 
I’ve not yet seen the boot so I’ve got some catching up to do.
