I'm sick to death of remakes, reboots, and franchises that should have died six movies back.

Bad news, they make money.

I wouldn’t mind seeing Starship Troopers being remade into something that actually resembles the book.

Other than the title? Yeah, that would be good. I remember when I saw the trailer the first time. I saw the Bugs coming in in a wave and said "Starship Troopers!" One guy told me it was a true rendition. I challenged him to find any of that shit in my copy of the book.

I'd also like to see more original screenplays and fewer (much, much fewer) book adaptations. Books are, in general, a bad source for screenplays, and the longer the book, the worse the adaptation. Scripts typically run 50 pages to an hour of film. Stuffing a 350 page novel into a 130 minute production typically results in a travesty.

Like everything else, adaptions vary. I prefer a series for the harder material, but things like Harry Potter have been adapted effectively. Nothing is going to be perfect but sweeping denial isn't very perfect either.

I personally find remakes preferable for modernization. Graphics are better than they used to be.
