在宣布了一部地獄電影之後，索尼現在正式重新啟動星際飛船士兵

索尼影業（Sony Pictures）正在開發羅伯特·A·海因萊因（Robert A. Neill Blomkamp, director of District 9 , Elysium , and Chappie , is attached to write and direct this new project, according to reports from The Hollywood Reporter , Deadline , and Variety .

這種新的改編與保羅·韋爾霍文（Paul Verhoeven）的1997年同名諷刺電影不同。取而代之的是，它的目的是對海因萊因原始小說的新解釋。該項目起源於索尼的哥倫比亞圖片。

The announcement of Blomkamp's involvement is intriguing, considering Sony's concurrent development of a live-action film based on the PlayStation Studios game Helldivers . Helldivers , created by Arrowhead Game Studios, draws significant inspiration from Verhoeven's Starship Troopers , sharing its themes of soldiers fighting alien insects while upholding a somewhat satirical political ideology.

這為索尼創造了一個有趣的場景，可能會以主題聯繫的兩部電影對抗。 However, The Hollywood Reporter clarifies that Blomkamp's Starship Troopers is not a remake of Verhoeven's film, but rather a new adaptation of the source novel. Heinlein's book differs considerably in tone from Verhoeven's adaptation, leading many to believe it promotes the very ideals the film satirizes.

新的星際飛船士兵和地獄電影的電影都沒有確認的發行日期。 Blomkamp最近的電影是索尼的Gran Turismo ，這是一個受歡迎的PlayStation系列的另一種改編。
