Neill Blomkamp is to direct a fresh adaptation of Starship Troopers, and it’s likely to be very different to the 1997 film many of you may know and love.

A reboot of 'Starship Troopers' is in the works at Sony, with 'District 9' and 'Chappie' director Neill Blomkamp attached to helm.

Columbia Pictures has tapped District 9 director Neill Blomkamp to write and direct a new Starship Troopers film, according to The Hollywood Reporter, giving the franchise its first live-action entry since 2008’s Starship Troopers 3: Marauder.
