Never played the games as I only play single player. The 2nd just looks like Starship Troopers though.

Helldivers movie? That could be fun. Super Earth is nuts.

I actually think they could have a lot of fun with this. Especially if they follow what they did with Fallout

 

[AVEITWITHJAMON]

The more good video game movies we get the better. Sonic has shown the template, just take the universe/world seriously.

Effectively, they are the same.

I've not seen the original Starship Troopers film in probably over 20 years, but it was a guilty pleasure, I think they made a few sequels but I never saw those.

Certainly interested at least on paper in a Helldivers film if they can keep it in the same vein as the game & Starship Troopers anyway.

Could end up like Fallout or... it could end up like Borderlands.

Considering it's by Sony... I'm thinking Borderlands.

Ryan Reynolds would be great as that

Ryan Reynolds would be great as that

So, basically that scene in Deadpool 2, but put at the very front of the film and 4-5 times the number of hilariously and ridiculously violent over-the-top deaths, and replaced by a bunch of lesser known actors for the rest of the film? I’m down for that.

Imagine they pull a Steven Seagal in Executive Decision, hire a bunch of actors a lot of people don’t like, don’t put it in their contract that their characters are going to get killed off near the beginning of the movie, and they don’t find out until the movie premiere.

Wonder if they could get Jared Leto for this.

At first I thought this was going to be a remake of a John Wayne film, but that was Hellfighters.

Oh that’s a great choice!

They really ought to have made more starship troopers type movies by now
