I would love to see a faithful adaptation of Starship Troopers. Maybe just a little more, and one I think would actually resonate better these days, is a faithful adaptation of Heinlein’s The Moon Is A Harsh Mistress.

I read Heinlein’s books about 50 years ago. The “we can throw rocks at them” sequence from the Moon is a Harsh Mistress still resonates the best with me. I seem to recall there being no good governments in Troopers. The Earth government was only counting contract time while they were thawed out, if I recall correctly. As I said, it has been a long time.

I’ll second that, although there’d be no way to include all of the heart of it, which is the social and political part...
TANSTAAFL!
