Thor and X-Men: First Class writers Edward Miller and Zack Stentz are on the script which will likely throw away the satirical essence of Paul Verhoeven’s original. Though Starship Troopers isn’t a treasure to be held in high regard, why do we need another go around? Surely there is another way to make marines fight giant bugs without infringing on an existing property that has been sequeled into irrelevance. (Vulture)

Doug Liman is officially on board to direct All You Need Is Kill, Empire Online is reporting.  Based on the 2004 sci-fi novel by Hiroshi Sakurazaka, the film will follow the story of a soldier who is killed whil fighting aliens, but finds himself caught in a time loop, reliving the events leading up to his death over and over again. With each subsequent death, the character improves his skills while attempting to break the cycle.

This really makes me mad. Warner Bros. acted like I was nuts when I pitched them my idea for a mash-up of Starship Troopers and Groundhog Day. They kept telling me things like "you’re not authorized to be in here" and "put your pants back on." Well, we’ll see who’s crazy when they get a call from my lawyer, Robert Kardashian.
