1997 Denise Richards and Dina Meyer absolutely mog any actress working right now. I'd say both of them are at least 9s.
Clearly there are scores of other reasons any remake is doomed, but that's the most obvious one. In the age of DEI, superhumanly attractive women are extinct.
Starship Troopers the movie wouldn't have reached half of its cult status if not for gratuitous titties spread throughout it, and I won't hear any other opinion. The movie's "endlessly quotable status" being acknowledged almost perfectly coincides with boys who were 9-13 when it came out reaching adulthood and talking about it on the internet using their coincidentally perfect memory of the movie.
Jokes aside, the movie only works because it had the perfect balance of parody to "don't care, awesome" level. So both sides of the camp got what they wanted to pull from it. Verhoeven managed this by accident due to his love of ultra violence mixing with "NAZIS SCARY" politics.
No one in Hollywood has the balls or ability to walk that line, so it'll end up being a shallow Leftie wet dream that uses "REFERENCE TO LINE YOU LIKED" to act like its clever.
It was a brilliant casting job. To roughly paraphrase Red Letter Media, it was an amazing collection of hot-as-shit 20-somethings with soulless, dead eyes.
It works!
The only one who stands out among that is Denise Richards, who put in such a soulless performance that she actually fails to even accomplish the task of not dragging down everything in every scene she is in.
She doesn't get naked, she isn't likeable, she makes everyone around her suffer worse (while she gets off each time), its painful.
Ya but so hot tho
Every other woman in that movie is flashing tit, I don't need to be staring at a robot who can't emote in a full suit.
