The fourth ‘Starship Troopers’ movie has been announced by Sony and will be entitled…drum roll please…’Starship Troopers: Invasion’. What’s most interesting about this movie though, which appears to be based around the character of Carl Jenkins who was portrayed by Neil Patrick Harris in Paul Verhoeven’s 1997 original, is that it’ll be receiving a theatrical release! Yup, even though it’s two predecessors went straight to DVD is appears that there’s much more faith in this sci-fi follow-up. The fourth installment will be executive produced by Ed Neumeier (who penned all 3 previous outings) as well as ‘Starship Troopers’ and ‘Starship Troopers 3: Marauder’ actor Casper Van Dien. Director Shinji Aramaki will be helming. You can check out the new plot synopsis for the sequel below as well as some artwork and a link to a new official website.
“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 imagined.”
‘Starship Troopers: Invasion’ is currently in production in Japan.
