I'm hoping we get some official confirmation on who did this dub soon. Several Houston area VAs have worked on it, and Steven Foster and Emily Neves even discussed it on the commentary on Towanoquon, but there has been no official word on Seraphim being the dubbing studio.

Really, because I would've love having Casper Van Dien (who play Rico in the live-action movie) to reprise his role for the animated movie, would've been a nice fanservice for people who watched and loved the movie. |

I think if they would have got the live action cast back, there would have been a bigger deal made of it. I'm thinking they didn't want to spend that much on the dub. Also, if you want some of the clips that have been uploading it certainly sounds like David Matranga. Also, Joseph Chou is the producer on the project, and he also worked with Seraphim in Halo Legends and Appleseed Ex Machina. |

An action anime film without all the hangups?

I can't say I care much for Verhoeven's withering, irony-hugging hysteria about the American Fascist Conspiracy in the original movie, but man. I know the satire of the film can be hard to detect on account of Poe's Law and all, but it is kind of sad to see how many people missed the point as colossally as this.

I was thinking that watching the trailer, that I'll miss the biting satire and obvious humor about life and death, but then I remembered that Roughnecks wasn't so bad for a kids TV show, and I hope this can be something like that and not something like the sequel films. |

I think the satire is aimed more at militarism specifically than "life and death" in general - or at least one layer is, with derisive potshots at various levels of vapidity in American culture and alleged crypto-fascist tendencies in popular art, government and foreign policy occupying other layers.
I'm not too fond of the movie, not because it isn't a fairly intelligent film, but because 1) the satire is inconsistently leveraged (there are some scenes that are brutally sharp and then there are long stretches where it's just a bad movie, regardless of whether the badness is intentional), 2) the satire is not sufficiently coherent (it can be hard to extrapolate specific messages from the movie beyond "militarism bad" and "America dumb", and in fact it sometimes makes the fictional society it's scorning look pretty appealing), 3) I don't really agree with what it's saying (but that is a political discussion for not-here), and 4) I think there's a pretty nasty contradiction in an ostensibly anti-war film that looks upon all of its human subjects with nothing but vague contempt and ironic detachment. If your film isn't much for humanism then it's not damn well much of an anti-war film, huh? Anyway, my point is just that it's sort of disconcerting to see this production (and I guess the various other sequels and spinoffs) parrot the same imagery, dialogue and iconography of the film without the slightest hint of awareness as to the film's intent. Like the intertitles, which were designed in the style of old propaganda films, used here without a whiff of irony. |

That's the problem. though this trailer looks promising, the movies with their lame attempt to make it a science fiction comedy sucks as hell.it's the reason why it bombed. I would take Battlefield Earth over the starship troopers movies. Hope for everyone's sanity that this CG movie dont use the same script as the movies , otherwise it'll be a waste of time. |

I had no interest in the sequels to the original movie, but I'll be picking this flick up when it's released on BD. I like Shinji Aramaki's CG movies.

I just read on IGN today that Casper Van Dien will be voicing Johnny Rico for this anime. So Van Dien will be voicing Rico for the movie. The question is will Denise Richard, Jake Busey, and Neil Patrick Harris reprise their role? I would love to see Michael Ironside who played Lt. Jean Rasczak in the live action movie to maybe voice his anime counterpart (Ironside has done voice acting before). |
