Let's hope THEY start production soon. I shan't hold my breath. |

I don't understand. Starship Troopers is already a movie. |

Unfortunately the Starship Troopers movie paid very little attention to the book. It was actually started as a completely different concept. |

I heard that Tolkien guy had a couple of good books. One about a ring and short people. |

FWIW, the plot of the 1979 Walter Hill movie The Warriors was from a book inspired by the Xenophon, but updated to the world of New York gang warfare. |

I read somewhere that Forever War was in pre-production, though I shudder to think what Hollywood would do to it! Same goes for Iain Bank's work, which as much as I would like to see it on the big screen, I'd probably not… |

I'd like to see a real Starship Troopers movie. Now what ever that was they made. |
