A Modern Trailer for 1997’s ‘Starship Troopers’


To celebrate the 20th anniversary of the theatrical release of director Paul Verhoeven’s 1997 science-fiction action film, Starship Troopers, video editor Tim Gonzales recut clips from the film to create this this fresh, modernized trailer. Watch the original trailer below.

“Looking back, the political satire throughout Starship Troopers was completely lost on me as a kid, and I instead just took it in as a grandiose sci-fi war epic. For this modern trailer, I tried my best to capture that initial impression I had of the film, and chose to not focus on its sociopolitical commentary. Fans of the film, I hope you enjoy this! And if you haven’t seen the film, maybe this trailer might entice you to seek it out?”
