Verhoeven is on record as saying he tried to read Starship Troopersbut stopped after two chapters “ because it was so boring ” meanwhile the movie began as a script called “Bug Hunt at Outpost 7.” Scriptwriter Ed Neumeier even described the original idea for the film as being “a big, silly, jingoistic, xenophobic, let’s-go-out-and-kill-the-enemy movie, and I had settled on the idea that it should be against insects… I wanted to make a war movie, but I also wanted to make a teenage romance movie.” You could even be forgiven for thinking the director had never read the book or that this was a completely unrelated film which has had the Starship Troopers title slapped on it to sell more tickets.īecause, as it turns out, both of those things are true. It’s a great movie, although not one that hues tightly to its source material. ![]() This year marks 25 years since the release of Paul Verhoeven’s movie adaptation of the Robert A. ![]()
