Davidson Talks Troopers 2
Jon Davidson, producer of the upcoming straight-to-video sequel Starship Troopers 2, told Moviehole that the film’s budget will remain low. “This installment of Starship is being kept low-budget for an excellent reason: to provide a comfort level for Sony so that they will hire Phil Tippett as the director,” Davidson said.
Tippett, a visual-effects artist, created the insectoid creatures in the first Starship Troopers, which was directed by Paul Verhoeven. For the sequel, “Sony is getting a huge bargain on the visual effects, in exchange for allowing Phil to helm the film,” Davidson said. “We will also need lots of help from the talented folks in Phil’s shop to make it happen and be visually exciting. It really has to be a labor of love to pull it off for next to no money.”
