I have to admit that I would enjoy an ADULT version of the film that captures the themes he was trying to present through science fiction. It would be awesome.

(2024 is going to be one for the history books, like 1939. And 2025 will be more so, like 1940-1945.)

In that vein I’d also like to see The Forever War put to film.

How about this? Let’s not make any TV shows or movies for the next 10 years?

I love Heinlein even though he had a distinct Oedipus complex.

It’s GOT to have power suits and the book version combat drop.

“ distinct Oedipus complex.”
Late in life he started showing his twisted side. His book, Number of the Beast has allusions to homosexuality, pedophilia and incest.

Il watch the current movie every time I see it. But one that stays true to the book would be fantastic.

There’s no way they’d allow it. The people in control pushing homosexuality and everyone race-mixing? Lol.

It’ll be crap, even if it’s a different style of crap from the 1997 movie. I won’t be watching this one either.
To: Angelino97
They already released it in 97.
Dizz has been on my alibi list ever since……

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.

A most favorite book and series. Haldeman is better than Hwinlwin and does not have the weird homo vibe.

Heinlein is one my favorite authors.
The movie doesn't exactly follow the book, true, but you couldn't sell a movie like that.
RAH's target audience was pre-pubescent boys, so his focus was mostly on action/adventure, not co-ed showers and pup-tent quickies.
Later in his career, he wrote some pretty racy stuff, but this wasn't --- not originally.

Why would the creator of the totally original ‘District 8’ want sloppy seconds on a 1997 film? Out of ideas like everyone else in Hollyweird? No thanks.
