    While exact plot details remain closely guarded, the new “Starship Troopers” is said to draw inspiration from Heinlein’s original military story, rather than pulling from the fascist send-up that characterized Verhoeven’s satirical adaptation.

    Yeah, you don’t want to send up fascists today…

    (Wonders if The Great Dictator and Verhoeven’s Starship Troopers would make a good double-bill.)
