Edward Neumeier ("RoboCop") is set to make his feature directorial debut on a third "Starship Troopers" film reports Production Weekly.

Neumeier has penned all three scripts of the franchise, basing the work on the novel by Robert A. Heinlein.

Casper Van Dien is in talks to reprise his role as Johnny Rico, now a General in the Terran Mobile Infantry embroiled in a vast interplanetary war with the "Bugs".

The project will be shot in hi-def on location in South Africa, with principle photography scheduled to begin in March.
