Gaming’s equivalent of classic sci-fi satire film Starship Troopers is about to become Hollywood’s take on the gaming equivalent of classic sci-fi satire film Starship Troopers.

In this case, Jason Momoa exploding bugs while yelling something like “yeehaw” really loud should more than make up for retreading old ground.<\/p>\n

Sony has announced the film adaptation of Helldivers is due November 10, 2027, as reported by Deadline<\/a>. Momoa is starring\u2014presumably as John Helldiver, until we hear otherwise\u2014while Justin Lin of Fast & Furious fame will direct.<\/p>\n

Lin has some sci-fi experience as well, with 2016’s quite fun Star Trek Beyond. There are no details on the plot, the film’s proximity to Super-Earth, or how many times Momoa will hug and\/or perform explosive handshakes with other members of his squad. Perhaps the screenwriter will be brave enough to make the whole film’s framing device a Sopranos-style therapy session in which John Helldiver has to work through his PTSD from fighting automatons at Malevelon Creek.<\/p>\n
