A serious take on Starship Troopers. I love the trilogy and think they are a lot of fun but I do love the novel and would like to see it taken seriously in an adaptation.

Heard HBO bought the rights to shoot the Dune series. So my wish is already being fulfilled.

Why would the GoT cunts have anything to do with it?

They would latch onto it and suck all the life out of it because it's better in every way

BotNS doesn't seem like their thing though.

They wouldn't be able to follow up anything.

In addition to every episode that lasts 90 minutes to just convey some basic stuff, you'd have to have another 90 minutes explaining what exactly happened to them.

It can't be made anymore, because the movie will have to constantly make up more terrible things about the Federation. If they show it like it is in the book, people will call the filmmakers facists.

Supposedly it's set to premiere in 2017

AMC damn well better shuffly Colm Meaney over from Hell on Wheels to The Terror to play Crozier. He not only looks like the real guy but he's also Irish and the right age. They would be complete morons not to jump on that.
