New Starship Troopers film

I second 'Job', its a really awesome book. Wonder what kind of movie they would turn it into to? I feel it might offend a great deal of people, though nothing wrong with that!

And why do I feel Heinlein always gets a bit ignored when it comes to conversations about great sci-fi novels? Most people I know have hardly heard of him, but they know Clarke and Asimov most of the time...

It's really quite strange, because Heinlein is widely considered as one of the "Big three", the other two being Clarke and Asimov.
But if you ever manage to catch the Escapist staff on IRC, you can usually talk to them about it, it's nice to find people well read when it comes to sci-fi.

And yes, I'm sure a number of people might be insulted, or even call it a tool of the devil. But I doubt any film maker coud do any of Heinlein's books justice.

I didn't know what IRC was, so checked it out, looks interesting. Tbh, when it comes to sci-fi, I mostly know Heinlein and Dune; blame my parents bookcase.

It's true no movie would be able to really do any of his books justice (its probably impossible for any movie to do a book justice, I feel most book adaptations are when the director took some ideas from the book, or changed quite a bit at any rate), it'd still be nice to see a Job movie. Although what I like about the book is how you slowly realise how the main character is a religious bigot, and they wont be able to translate that to a movie effectively.
