I dunno. For all I know, there are producers out there who are trying to get a big-budget reboot of "Starship Troopers" into production. However, I'm just saying that I think it would be hard to reboot, since (1.) the original film was a box office disappointment, and (2.) the novel doesn't have much appeal to contemporary audiences. And unlike "Transformers", it would be pretty hard to do a "Starship Troopers" that both adults and their kids would enjoy (even if it weren't R-rated).
I suppose "Starship Troopers" might have some contemporary appeal if they tried to adapt the source material to the War on Terror as opposed to the Red Scare. However, given that almost no movies about the War on Terror have done well at the box office, even that would be a hard sell.
