在宣布了一部地狱电影之后，索尼现在正式重新启动星际飞船士兵

索尼影业（Sony Pictures）正在开发罗伯特·A·海因莱因（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 .

这种新的改编与保罗·韦尔霍文（Paul Verhoeven）的1997年同名讽刺电影不同。取而代之的是，它的目的是对海因莱因原始小说的新解释。该项目起源于索尼的哥伦比亚图片。

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.

这为索尼创造了一个有趣的场景，可能会以主题联系的两部电影对抗。 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.

新的星际飞船士兵和地狱电影的电影都没有确认的发行日期。 Blomkamp最近的电影是索尼的Gran Turismo ，这是一个受欢迎的PlayStation系列的另一种改编。
