Sony, currently producing a Helldivers 2 film, is also developing a new Starship Troopers movie, though it won’t be tied to the existing Starship Troopers film.

Get ready to get confused, because Deadline says Sony, which announced a Helldivers 2 movie in January, is also making a new Starship Troopers movie set to be directed by Neil Blomkamp. But the new movie, according to the report, won’t be based on the 1997 film that Helldivers 2 draws heavily from, but will instead go back to the 1959 sci-fi novel written by Robert Heinlein.

Starship Troopers—the novel and the film—tells the tale of Johnny Rico, a soldier in a militaristic future human society at war with giant bugs from outer space. But where the movie—the 1997 Paul Verhoeven one, not the upcoming Blomkamp take—was a pretty heavy-handed satire of fascism (although that went largely unnoticed at the time), the book itself is regarded by some as, well, pretty fascist.
