Isn't Starship Troopers already a CGI film? How can it be re-made?
I don't think that remakes are only done cos now there is new technology to do the idea justice, occasionally they do one because they think that it will make more money. And I think one time there was actually someone who had a brilliant idea which would make the film so much better that it artistically justified doing again - although they never made that one.
I probably said earlier in the thread though that I guess I can allow people to make another attempt at a book, somehow that feels quite different to remaking the film, although often it is just a justification for simply remaking the film (quite possibly by someone who has never read the book).
But I guess by that rule ST could be allowed. Someone just happened to think that the book was so good they could make it into a film and, though they was disappointed to discoverer that there was already a version, decided to press on with his or her own take, making sure not to watch the other film or speak to anyone at all who had seen it.
