Starship Troopers is the perfect definition of an originally misunderstood cult classic that has gone on to build a dedicated fanbase since its release in 1997. Now actor Casper Van Dien, who played Johnny Rico in the movie, is desperate to see the franchise get a revival as a streaming TV series. Van Dien recently shared his enthusiasm for returning to the action franchise, suggesting, not for the first time, that it holds untapped potential for further exploration that would be perfect for a long-form series.
