Actually Helldivers has a good chance if done right. Starship Troopers is a cult classic for their commentary about society and politics. Helldivers has a little of that but their current popularity lands in the action, if they want to make it a satire that's ok but the main focus has to be make something fun and crazy to watch, like old 90s movie kind of fun.

As much as I love Helldivers I know the playerbase of HD2 is basically COD players who just want to shoot stuff and don't want commentary of anything so there is not point in even trying to give what Starship Troopers already did. For the old guys who loved ST for the commentary well they should focus in the other half of ST, the fact that the only good bug is a dead bug.  

I can just very easily see the sentiment being, "Why? Why does a Starship Troopers knockoff need a movie when the move it aped already exists?" If they do it right it could stand on its own (maybe crank up the dark comedy) or simply serve as a long awaited spiritual successor, but I could also much easier see it being superfluous.

Anyway, I had not heard those cast details about the Tsushima anime. Much more excited for that.

It's to bring in new gamers that's the only reason Sony is bringing all their gaming IPs to movies/TV shows. Starship troopers is old people aren't going to go back and watch it because of the game. Now they will watch a new Hell Divers movie and then maybe feel the urge to go and try the game. 

It was the same thing when people were like "TLOU is already a movie, why does it need a TV show". Then we see the sales boosted for the game. These movies/TV shows are for a new audience. Not for people like us who are so dedicated to gaming we go to social forums to discuss it.
