‘Starship Troopers’ Writer Talks Potential Television Series Sequel to the 1997 Film

January 28, 2019

Released in 1997, Paul Verhoeven’s Starship Troopers pit a futuristic military unit up against insectoid creatures, and it went on to spawn two live action sequels as well as two animated movies. We had heard back in 2016 that a remake was in the works, but now it seems possible that we could also be getting a proper continuation of the original film.

Speaking with HN Entertainment, Starship Troopers writer Ed Neumeier touched upon the *potential* idea of making a new sequel in the form of a live action TV series!

I don’t want to jinx anything, but we are talking about trying to do a television show that is based on that idea,” Neumeier told the site, when they asked him the following question: “Do you think that bringing back the old cast (Casper and them) could work as a sequel?

Neumeier also touched upon that aforementioned reboot, sharing some thoughts on it.

Well, I have mixed feelings about it [the reboot] because I think that what we did with the first Starship is almost not repeatable in a way,” he said.
