Rather than a remake of Starship Troopers, I would like to see a major studio movie made from Harry Harrison’s Bill, the Galactic Hero.
(There is a student version, made by Alex Cox of Repo Man and Sid and Nancy fame.)

Harrison reports having been approached by a Vietnam veteran who described Bill as “the only book that’s true about the military.” Terry Pratchett once said, “I don’t think The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy was the funniest Science Fiction novel ever written. The funniest Science Fiction novel ever written was Bill, The Galactic Hero.”

Come to think of it, the Verhoeven movie had more in common with Bill, the Galactic Hero than it did with Heinlein’s original Starship Troopers.
