Sony's making a new Starship Troopers film, separately from its Helldivers 2 movie

The upcoming Starship Troopers film from Sony won’t be based on the 1997 film that Helldivers 2 draws a lot of inspiration from.

Sony Pictures is working on a new Starship Troopers movie with Gran Turismo filmmaker Neill Blomkamp – and to be clear, this is completely separate from Sony Pictures’ Helldivers film, which was announced earlier this year.

Rather, as reported by Deadline, this Sony Starship Troopers film will instead go back to the 1959 sci-fi novel as its source material, which was written by Robert A. Heinlein.
