A reboot of ‘Starship Troopers’ is in the works at Sony, with ‘District 9’ and ‘Chappie’ director Neill Blomkamp attached to helm.
Neil Blomkamp is like a one hit wonder director. He came from nowhere, made a banger movie, and then he’s unable to replicate the success.
He has a lot of good ideas. The problem is he isn’t a great writer, so he needs a co-writer and someone to keep him in check. The mediocre films are a result of him taking over the reigns of everything. If you haven’t yet, he has a couple of short films under Oat Studios and I think a couple of them need to be explored more and turned into full feature films. I like the premise of “Firebase” specifically.
