Starship Troopers 3 Trailer & Wondercon Stuff

ST 3

The trailer for Starship Troopers 3: Marauders has finally made its way to the internet.  Starring Casper Van Dien & Jolene Blalock, Johnny Rico is now a Colonel... Thats basically the plot synopsis that can be found on the net.  However, io9.com has a transcript of the Starship Troopers panel with Van Dien and Blalock.  There we get to see a little more on the plot, take a look.

This time around, it's eleven years later and the war is not going so well. There's much less public support for the war effort than there was in the first movie, said Van Dien.

Also, there are three new types of bugs, two of which appeared in the clips we saw at Wondercon. One new bug is called a Bombadier, and it's a sort of ball that lands among a group of human soldiers and then explodes (one human throws himself onto it and sacrifices himself for the others), then grows into a big eyestalk that shoots white fire.

Another clip showcased Neumeier's trademark zany fake TV coverage, with a fake news segment about the new Q-bomb, which can destroy an entire planet. Some religious fanatics say humans shouldn't have the right to choose which planets live and which ones die, but others say the Q-bomb may finally help destroy the bugs once and for all. And then there's a recruiting segment for the Fleet, which parodies all those "Army of One" spots for the U.S. Army and emphasizes that 16-year-olds can join. It ends with someone saying, "See you in the Cockpit!"

You can read the full article at io9.com.

The trailer to this movie really looks terrible.  It does however look better then the second film, but I honestly don't expect anything entertaining out of this.  Still, I'm going to watch it.
