New trailer for Starship Troopers: Invasion delivers more action and story [video]

The bugs are the only thing returning in the upcoming Starship Troopers: Invasion CG movie. It looks like the original gang of friends are set to return as well. That's right, John Rico, Carmon Ibanez, and Carl Jenkins are all gearing up for this new adventure!

Fans will be happy to hear that this movie is set to be a true sequel to the 1997 movie and will forget about the 2 live action sequels that were released. With this story taking place 10 years after the original, the writers were free to explore the Starship Troopers universe to come up with the best story possible. You can read the movie synopsis below and watch the all new, action packed trailer as well. Enjoy!
 

Movie synopsis:

"Carmen Ibanez, who flew the Rodger Young in the first movie, is now captain of the John A. Warden (the battleship I introduced in previous blogs). Carl Jenkins, now Minister of Paranormal Warfare, takes over the John A. Warden for a deep space experiment – leaving Carmen livid and ship-less. Carl brushes off her vehement objections and disappears with the ship off into the vast nebula. When Carl and the ship go radio-silent, guess who orders a rescue mission? Yep…it’s big-time general/war-hero Johnny Rico.

As our film is set almost 10 years after the first movie, the big 3 are now in their mid 30’s and have somehow kept their relationships in tact despite deployments millions of miles apart. You will see their fragile yet strangely resilient relationship evolve in this movie, especially with Rico still a little soft on Carmen…and a familiar uncertainty about whether Carmen still reciprocates those feelings. We definitely paid homage to the original movie (in all sorts of ways), so we can’t wait to see how fans of the original respond to an awesome mix of nostalgia and “franchise update.”"

Starship Troopers: Invasion comes out on DVD and Blu-Ray on August 28th.
