Neill Blomkamp to Direct New ‘Starship Troopers’ Movie Based on Original Novel
Renowned filmmaker Neill Blomkamp, celebrated for his work on “District 9,” is set to direct a new adaptation of “Starship Troopers” for Sony’s Columbia Pictures. This upcoming film will revisit Robert A. Heinlein’s 1959 science fiction novel, distinguishing itself from the 1997 satirical movie directed by Paul Verhoeven.
The 1997 “Starship Troopers” film offered a satirical take on Heinlein’s novel, critiquing fascism and militarism. In contrast, Blomkamp’s adaptation aims to remain more faithful to the original text, exploring themes of citizenship, duty, and the complexities of a militarized society.
Joining Blomkamp in this endeavour is his wife and collaborator, Terri Tatchell, who will co-write the screenplay. The duo previously earned acclaim for their work on “District 9,” which received four Academy Award nominations, including Best Picture and Best Adapted Screenplay.
Blomkamp’s filmography, including titles like “Elysium” and “Chappie,” is known for blending science fiction with socio-political commentary. This background suggests that the new “Starship Troopers” adaptation will delve into the novel’s intricate themes while delivering the director’s signature visual storytelling.
Afrobeat star Davido surprised his wife, Chioma, with a dazzling diamond-encrusted Richard Mille wristwatch worth $300,000 during their white wedding in Miami on Sunday.
This is the second Richard Mille timepiece he has gifted her, following the one he presented alongside Birkin bags for her birthday in 2023.
Davido has shared a heartfelt vow to his wife, Chioma, during their white wedding in Miami, speaking with deep emotion about their journey together. The Afrobeats star described how Chioma came into his life quietly but soon became the brightest and most beautiful part of it. He called her his love and his peace, saying God brought her to show him the true meaning of unconditional love.
Davido reflected on the highs and lows they’ve faced, admitting they’ve known both the kind of love many dream of and the kind of pain only they could understand, yet they’ve remained strong. In his vow, he promised to always protect her.
This celebration marks the couple’s third time sealing their union, following a private court wedding in March 2023 and a lavish traditional ceremony in Lagos in June 2024.
Chioma Adeleke, wife of popular Nigerian singer Davido, speaks on the level of support she gets from her husband and expresses her gratitude.
While the white wedding happened this weekend, Chioma answered a few questions during a brief interview and revealed how much love and support she gets from Davido.
“David cares a lot about my dreams. I’ve faced a lot of challenges over time, but he would always ask me, ‘Chi, apart from all of this, what do you actually want to do?’ Then we would have plans and have stuff coming out in the next few months. He really cares about my personal dreams.”
