I read recently (can't remember where) that the director of STT hadn't even finished the book when he started making the movie. I'm not sure if he ever did.
I actually kind of dug the "Roughnecks" animated STT series.
Loved the
Forever War. I'm not sure it would translate to film, though and I'm not sure Ridley's the director to try it.
Condorman? Loved it as a little kid; watched it again a few years ago... Sheesh! It did not hold up at all.
How can they remake
Red Dawn? If the Chinese are the main baddies, lot's of folks are going to scream RACISM! (and, perhaps, rightly so).
