Just got the DVD cover art and specs for the upcoming “Starship Troopers 3: Marauder” in the inbox today. Casper Van Dien reprises his heroic role as the fearless Johnny Rico in the third installment of the hugely popular global sci-fi adventure phenomenon. The swarming, killer bugs are back wreaking havoc on humanity in this awe-inducing action-packed adventure also starring Jolene Blalock (Star Trek: Enterprise), Amanda Donohoe, Boris Kodjoe, Marnette Patterson and Catherine Oxenberg. “Marauder” is written and directed by Ed Neumeier, who also wrote the previous two films in the series, and is “presented” by Paul Verhoeven. DVD cover art for the Blu-Ray and regular DVD edition, including specs, below.

Here’s the deal with the latest “Starship Troopers” movie, “Starship Troopers 3: Marauder”. I don’t get the point in revisiting it. Didn’t the humans already won the war against the bugs at the end of the first movie? The second movie was just atrocious and tried to change the notion of warfare with the bugs (with the bugs developing body snatcher type powers), and this third one, I don’t know. Sure, the return of Casper Van Dien to the role of Johnny Rico is interesting, but is it … really? Anyways, DVD release date for the direct-to-DVD sequel below.

Unless you’ve been living under a rock (or maybe you’re not a sci-fi fan), then you know the gang from “Starship Troopers” are back to fight more bugs, led by Casper Van Dien as Johnny Rico, now a full-fledged Colonel in the Federation army. The cast/crew, including Jolene Blalock, were at WonderCon over the weekend to promote the film.

In case you haven’t heard, but “Starship Troopers 2: Hero of the Federation” wasn’t the last troop action you’re going to get, because part three, “Marauders”, is currently in production with Casper Van Dien and Jolene Blalock. Van Dien, of course, was in the original “Starship Troopers”, and reprises his Johnny Rico character from the 1997 movie. Here’s are some images from the upcoming sci-fi actioner.
