If they were willing to pump millions in stars and CGI into Land of the Lost, why NOT a Starship Troopers reboot? If they're willing to remake Death at a Funeral three years after it was released IN THE SAME LANGUAGE, why not a fresh look at Starship Troopers?
And as much as I hate to admit it, I don't know if anyone could've done a better job with Transformers 1 as Michael Bay did. (This does not apply to TF2.) The source material was a glorified toy commercial, full of inconsistancies, that dorks like me revere. (Hub has been running the old episodes, and man, I can't believe I used to believe that it was the greatest show ever.) Aside from a few dorky complaints (why not have Peter Cullen as Ironhide if he's already on the payroll, why not bring Vince DiCola back to do the score, etc) I can't find much to complain about TF1. (TF2, on the other hand...) We've seen "good" directors try to handle "dorky" franchises, like Ang Lee, and watched them fail, and we've watched TF's partner, GI Joe, fail as well. I went into TF1 expecting the worst, and I came out pleasantly surprised.

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.

Back to directors, I've been trying to catch up on the works of Sergio Leone. I saw the Man with No Name trilogy, and I loved the For a Few Dollars More. I couldn't but think of Fistful as just another retelling of Yojimbo (which was just Red Harvest, but still) and GB&U just dragged way too much. I loved Duck, You Sucker, and I just watched Once Upon a Time in the West, which was great. I still have to see Once Upon a Time in America. I'd like to see if he was able to leave his comfort zone.
