The Bugs Are Back! Starship Troopers: Invasion

Just when you thought we had seen the last of those space-mutant bugs, along comes another horde of the blighter’s.

For those of you dreading a cheesy sequel do no fret, as according to Dread Central, Starship Troopers: Invasion is an all new CG animated film from Sony Pictures Entertainment. The film will be released in the Summer of 2012.

I’m digging this CG animation at the moment after my recent watch of that Resident Evil flick so my hopes are pretty high for this one. We also have some teaser art which you can check out above.

Check out the synopsis below courtesy of their official website.

Synopsis: “A distant Federation outpost Fort Casey comes under attack by bugs. The team on the fast attack ship Alesia is assigned to help the Starship John A. Warden stationed in Fort Casey evacuate along with the survivors and bring military intelligence safely back to Earth. Carl Jenkins, now ministry of Paranormal Warfare, takes the starship on a clandestine mission before its rendezvous with the Alesia and goes missing in the nebula. Now, the battle-hardened troopers are charged with a rescue mission that may lead to a much more sinister consequence than they ever could have imagined….”

The film is directed by Shinji Aramaki and written by Flint Dille.
