Starship Troopers 4 commissioned as fully CGI animated

[JarodRussell]

I never read the book, but understood the movie as satire.

The newsreels kinda make it crystal clear.

Which is why I think the 1st works so well: The message is blatant, it's not subtle at all, but it's presented in such as way as to NOT feel like they're beating you over the head with it.

Where as the follow up movies have the same voice, they don't copy the way the 1st one did it and they come off a pure camp.

according to StarshipTroopersFans.net, a fourth movie has now been commissioned. But given how ropey the last two were, why are we interested?

Starship Troopers 4 is going to be a fully CG-animated movie.

For now, you can read more about the project here

Starship Troopers 4 gets the go ahead


just for reference here are a couple threads on Starship Troopers 3
Starship Troopers 3: Marauder
Starship Troopers 3 impressions

Are they just goimng to update the designs and take the story from the:

Roughnecks: Starship Troopers Chronicles (link)

TV series (circa 1999)?

[And actually, that series wasn't bad, at least it had the Troopers in some sort ofactual Battle armour.]

Re: Starship Troopers 4 trailer

No Noname Given. At the blog below you can see design illustrations and CGI models of a new bug.

also a full 53 second trailer for it below for the Japanese market

The Japanese trailer for Shinji Aramaki's CG animated film Starship Troopers: Invasion has been posted via Movie walker.

Some of the production designs will feature the new starships, power suits and the robotic Marauder with the unique "mecha" aesthetic that you come to expect in Japanese anime.

The script is written by Flint Dille (Chronicles of Riddick: Escape from Butcher Bay) and produced by Joseph Chou (Halo Legends) through Sola Digital Arts.

The YouTube link in 1080p.

Japanese Trailer For Animated Film STARSHIP TROOPERS: INVASION


Direct-to-DVD this Summer.

The CGI looks pretty good. Of course it being all-CGI makes it a small-audience film immediately.

Please put this movie series out of it's misery...not a single good one in the bunch!

Ok, wait a sec, it's Japanese and has a trailer already and it looks better than the last couple of movies...

Roughnecks was great, never got too excited about the movie(s).

This series had potential and while still directed at younger adults to a good degree, its the best version of Starship Troopers out there.

There are some nice visuals in that trailer, but it also looks like it takes itself a lot more seriously than the original movie. Trailers can be deceiving that way, but the character designs alone make this look like it doesn't have much of a satirical edge.

Someone should change the title of this thread.

I don't think this was ever meant to be a sequel to the movie trilogy.

'Starship Troopers: Invasion' Dated and Detailed for Blu-ray

the Blu-ray is detailed and has release date of August 28.

A distant Federation outpost Fort Casey comes under attack by bugs. The team on the fast attack ship Alesia is assigned to help the Starship John A. Warden stationed in Fort Casey evacuate along with the survivors and bring military intelligence safely back to Earth. Carl Jenkins, now ministry of Paranormal Warfare, takes the starship on a clandestine mission before its rendezvous with the Alesia and goes missing in the nebula. Now, the battle-hardened troopers are charged with a rescue mission that may lead to a much more sinister consequence than they ever could have.

and cover art at the source.

also special features detailed:

The Blu-ray/UV Digital Copy combo will feature 1080p video, a DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 soundtrack, and supplements will include: Filmmaker commentary; The Making of Starship Troopers: Invasion - Genesis behind-the-scenes featurette; The Making of Starship Troopers: Invasion archive; Gag Reel; and a Blu-ray exclusive conceptual art gallery.

rescue mission? sounds like Aliens (1986). Bug hunt...

I like the updates on the movie's blog with art designs and screengrabs.
