Is this going to be a remake of the Paul Verhoeven movie or a movie faithful to the book? I got the impression it was going to be the latter and it scares me. At this point in the US, such a movie would awfully seem like the kind of militaristic propaganda Trump would love for his expansionist Putinesque fantasies.

Helldivers II is very popular right now, and that game is basically a comedic over-the-top parody of Starship Troopers (the movie, not the book). If the studio has any sense about them, they'll remake the film in the vein of Helldivers and not actual imperialist military propaganda like the book.
