With the Total Recall remake coming out next year, producer Neal Moritz is next turning his attention to a reboot of Paul Verhoeven's 1997 sci-fi film
Starship Troopers, which was loosely based on the novel by Robert A. Heinlein.

Vulture has the news, saying that Thor and X-Men: First Class screenwriters Ashley Edward Miller and Zack Stentz have come on board to write the script.
The duo also worked on episodes of "Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles" and "Fringe."

Casper Van Dien, Dina Meyer, Denise Richards, Jake Busey, Neil Patrick Harris,
Patrick Muldoon and Michael Ironside starred in the original, in which Earth is at war with a race of giant alien insects.

The film earned $121.2 million in theaters worldwide.

Though it might seem sacrilegious to many to even make a Starship Troopers reboot, this might really get your blood boiling. According to the producer, they are aiming for a less violent take on the story.

In an interview with Empire, Toby Jaffe said: "The more expensive a film is, the harder it is now to make it that violent. With Recall in particular, we made a conscious choice to keep it tonally closer to something like Minority Report. It gives the studio, and us as producers, the opportunity to reintroduce it in a new way."

What is cool, however, is that Jaffe menionts the "jump suits" featured in Robert Heinlein's book: "Working in a visual-effects renaissance as we are, we have the ability to do so much more now. We can do the Jump Suits [armoured exoskeletons from Heinlein's novel], for example, which I don't think they could have done before."

No word on a release date or director but Thor and X-Men: First Class screenwriters Ashley Edward Miller and Zack Stentz have written the script.
