Yep, you read that right: Casper Van Dien, the star of the original "Starship Troopers," will be returning to head up "Starship Troopers 3," which will be directed by series writer Edward Neumeier.

From Moviehole.net: "’Looks like — fingers crossed — Sony is moving forward," Neumeier, who will write & direct the film, tells Moviehole. "Plans are afoot to shoot next year. Casper Van Dien will be back as Colonel John Rico. There’ll be a new bug or two. Also draft riots. Religion makes a comeback. And the Federation has a new weapon.""

Production is scheduled to begin next March. Neuemeier’s other screenplays include "Robocop" and "Anacondas."
