Though its satire was mostly lost on moviegoers when it was first released, Paul Verhoeven’s Starship Troopers holds up as a critique of fascism and U.S. foreign policy nearly 20 years later. So you can see how the famed director might not have been thrilled to learn that the proposed remake will align itself more closely to the ideals espoused in Robert Heinlein’s eponymous book, which were sent up in the 1997 film. Verhoeven made his feelings about the reportedly more patriotic reboot while at the Film Society Of Lincoln Center this week. Per Indiewire, the director scoffed at the notion of staying true to the source material, insisting that going that particular route is, well, bullshit. But he does think that the planned reboot would resonate with the new leader of the free world.
