      He seems to have similar politics to Verhoeven, so I’m sure it’ll be the same kind of science fiction satire.

      I don’t think starship troopers is remembered very fondly, so he’s got lots of space to work with.

      Edit: it’s cool everybody, I get that I’m wrong. I just haven’t seen it since I was a kid and haven’t met anybody IRL that remembers the movie positively.

        I don’t know what you’re talking about. It’s a classic if not a cult classic, most people know about this movie love it.

          Even watching it in the cinemas I loved it. Was slightly too young to get the fascist undertones, but that made it so much better to rewatch a few years later.
