Zero chance it would be improved.

Starship Troopers is great as is and modern film making would make it lesser of a product than it is currently.

This topic makes me think of another good topic. How many really good movies were made better than the first. I think almost all movies have a better chance of success if the remake is made by a movie pre 80s. My best example off the top of my head is the Italian job. Another movie that in my opinion wasn’t necessary to remake but was still really good was 12 angry men.

This, 100%.

It’s already one of my favorite movies of all time. I always say I’m the only person I know that saw it in theaters, and I saw it twice two days in a row.

But it’s basically perfect as-is. No need to revisit any sort of reboot or remake. I would be on board with a worthy (key word) sequel with the original players. But I’m not sure if anybody would be interested in returning, and I’m not sure if Paul Verhoeven could swing it anymore at his age anyway.
