Now Filming- “Starship Troopers: Marauder”June 18th, 2007 in Movie News, Sci-Fi |
Currently filming in Table Mountain, South Africa is the third movie in the Starship Troopers franchise, Starship Troopers: Marauder. Casper van Dien has been cast again as Johnny Rico, and the movie also stars Tanya van Graan, who was recently named by FHM as the sexiest woman in South Africa.
In the film, Johnny Rico is now a general, and the federal army is bigger than ever before. But this time, they run into a new strain of bug known as a “Scorpion Bug.” The infantry must fight to stop the Scorpion bug from breeding itself on earth.
Tanya plays one of the seven troopers who helps to save the earth, but also adds “I’m not sure exactly where the movie will be shot, but I know that many of the outer-space sequences will be filmed in a studio.”
Also starring in the latest Starship Troopers film is Marnette Patterson, Boris Kodjoe, John Falkow, Stephen Hogan, and Anthony Bishop. The movie was written by Edward Neumeier, who is also directing the film. Neumeier also wrote and directed the first two installments of the series.
Like the second film, Starship Troopers 2: Hero of the Federation, this one is likely to go straight to DVD.

“Neumeier also wrote and directed the first two installments of the series.”
No he did not! Neumeier wrote the first two films but he did not direct either of them. In fact this is his first time in the director’s chair. The first two films were directed by Paul Verhoeven and Phil Tippett (respectably).

MAN, I LOVED the first one. the second one bored me a bit. as it was constantly dark, and all maintained at the one destination.
I HOPE…that like the first one, it’s day light and takes place in severel destinations

hopefully it will be better than the second. If its good it should be put out in cinema rather than just dvd. Would be cool if it was made to allow a 4th film also if good etc as starship troopers has so much potentual after the 1st film that was never used due to things like terribly small budgets. ie 1st film $100 mill budget second$7 mill. big difference. Well apparently sence they are filming it in south africa it will be cheaper to make alot of things in it than in other countries they normally would be making films/movies in.

I’ve watched the first one and found it awsome but have only watched the first hour of the second one and i have too say it is alot more layed back that starship troopers one i’d say even the cartoon series had more adrenaline all im hoping for is that in the last 50 mins it will get a lot better and that no.3 will be full of bug ass kicking action like the first and the bugs should look alot better due to todays CGI
