Who else would love to see a new live action film, a sequel in the spirit of the original, and with some of the original cast and characters?

If somebody does a reasonably-good 6" line with a landing craft and a couple of articulated bugs, I'll be all over it.

I love Academy Award Nominee Starship Troopers. Heavy, heavy DVD rotation back in the day.

The reason the franchise never took off was because they didn't bring back Verhoeven when they wanted to make the sequel. Troopers had a really long tail with DVD sales and made studio more money on the back end and 5 years had passed. Never got fully behind it and cheaped out with the Direct to DVD cash grab.

Statue is insanely heavy and it's too bad they went Traitor of Mars. Alien bug should be wet or glossy and the structure and ground should be matte and weather distressed. This is exactly the opposite.
