The old Hollywood formula for success -- make a movie that breaks a taboo -- is hard to follow in an era in which there aren't any taboos left, or at least not ones for which a mass market exists.

Incorrect, the huge taboo remaining to be broken is political correctness.

How about a real adaptation of Starship Troopers? or a Historical military epic about the defense of Europe against the Islamic tide of the middle ages.

I have never read the book, because of the movie. Was it really that different or better? Just curious.
