What if Raimi directed ''Starship Troopers''?

It would probably be the same

Bugs would have jew noses, would be giant rats instead. Humanity would be looking for more living-space for their people, all of whom would just-so-happen to be lily-white.

He wouldn't get that it was satire, so it would probably just be straight-up fascist propaganda at that point.

Ted would have played Dizzy and would have died in the first 5 minutes of the movie during the assault on the city. Just like in the book.

What if the cast was replaced with the cast of The Sopranos?

>He wouldn't get that it was satire

But it wasn't satire before verhoeven.

>>79446966
Was it not a satire?

I read the Wikipedia article on the source novel, and the article seemed to suggest it was satirical in parts, but not in all the areas where the Verhoeven film was satirical.

>>79446769
After seeing how wonderful Raimi portrayed the society in Starship Troopers, all the world's governments would take up a similar system thus making Starship Troopers real.

>>79446769
First, he would have read the book, instead of being a hack like Verhoeven.

>>79446769
Jay Bauman would have liked it even more.

holy shit take that to /lit/, it's brilliant

Verhoeven is one of the best directors of the 20th century.

>I'll put the commanding officers in nazi hats....now it's satire"

Bravo

>>79447016
Not really. It's just a regular sci-fi book focused on war(which exaggerates the look of the government). I don't remember anything even slightly satirical in it. Then again I haven't read the thing since I was a kid, so maybe I just missed any slight satirical parts.

That's why people didn't get that Verhoeven's movie was satirical, anyway. Because the book wasn't angled like it and people assumed it was a straight adaptation.

>The movie started life as a script called Bug Hunt at Outpost Nine.[2] When similarities, especially the "bugs," were pointed out between this and the novel Starship Troopers, plans were made to license the rights to the book and tweak character names and circumstances to match. Verhoeven had never read the book, and attempted to read it for the film, but it made him "bored and depressed", so he read only a few chapters:

>I stopped after two chapters because it was so boring,...It is really quite a bad book. I asked Ed Neumeier to tell me the story because I just couldn't read the thing. It's a very right-wing book.

I have always felt the movie was libelous, implying the author was a fascist, war loving monster. In reality, the director made a cartoon from his imagination of what the book was.

>ITS AFRAID OF THE IMPENDING VICTORY OF NATIONAL SOCIALISM!

Jesus fucking christ, Raimi

>>79447448
Isn't the Smiths the go-to band for indie teen chicks? what's so great about them, also moz is a huge faggot

>>79447476
That is a quote from Verhoeven, not me. he was too lazy to read the fucking book before making the movie.

>>79447448
Not him, but that album is shit. Rest varies from good to really good, but Meat is Murder is shit.

>>79447535
I know, I'm just mildly incredulous

There would be more shots from the bugs perspective, using a wide-angle lens, chasing the main characters, and a scene with lots of cuts to zoom-in shots of equipment being grabbed.
It would not have been as good.
Nobody would have mistaken the satire for genuine fascist sentiment.

Why does he need to read the book?
He's not making the movie of the book, he's making the movie of the script.

>>79446769
Rapid cuts of suiting up in power armor might have been nice.

>>79447016
Its a little satirical with the boot camps on steroids. But it wasn't trying to be political.

Most of it was just about how cool/dangerous everything was, from recruit to commanding officer.
