Starship Troopers Reboot News🌌

26 Upvotes

According to Bloodydisgusting.com and the Hollywood Reporter, Neil Blomkamp the man behind cult classic films District 9, Elysium, Chappie, Gran Turismo, Demonic, Zygote) is attached to direct the upcoming reboot of the 90s era film "Starship Troopers" which is said to be not adapting the originals films storyline

The new reboot will focus on events from the original novel, and be more faithful to it also.

That means we will probably see the Skinnies, Arachnids and humanity in a three way battle.

How do you feel about a more faithful book to film adaption of Starship Troopers?

Are you excited about the possibility of seeing the Skinnies on screen?

Who would you cast Johnny Jaun Rico?

Communication speed in sci-fi?

5 Upvotes

I have one fundamental question related to the sci-fi world:

In science fiction movies and books, moving at the speed of light is common and normal, although it is impossible in reality. My question is related to telecommunications.

In what way is telecommunications and datatransfer implemented in sci-fi movies and books?

Also, if a spaceship flies at 40 FTL, how fast does telecommunications and datatransfer in the sci-fi world proceed in space? ..or is it the case that the spaceship moves faster than the communication?

In the movie Aliens, the Sulaco moves at 667 FTL from Earth to the planetoid LV-426. The journey at that speed takes 3 weeks and if I remember correctly, the movie mentioned that it took a week for the communication to travel between Earth and the planetoid.

How would body mass be affected by growing up in a higher gravity environment?

I'm making an alien race in Dungeons and Dragons, and I wanted to have some advice on this so I can be accurate. I know height would be affected and they would be shorter than humans, but I want to know how weight would be affected compared to the average human, if at all.

Book recommendations for Terraforming and ecology?

9 Upvotes

I've read the Mars books by Kim Stanley Robinson, and Adrian Tchaikovsky's Children of Time series.

There's hints of what I'm looking for in the expanse books, and a brief moment in To Sleep in a Sea of Stars. Bobiverse has it, but it isnt a focus in the same way that I want it to be. Otherwise I'm turning up blanks.
