While details are currently scarce, what is known is that the fourth instalment will be completely CG-animated. This will not be the series’ first animated excursion, the Starship Troopers universe was previously pixillated for the surprisingly good animated series, Roughnecks: Starship Troopers Chronicles, that followed Paul Verhoeven’s original film.
Dropping the subtext for uninspired bug-bashing after the enjoyable first instalment, the flailing franchise’s leap to CG-animation will have to do something pretty special if Starship Troopers 4 hopes to compete with the upsurge in quality evident from this years crop of animated extravaganza’s.
The official press release to follow.
