Psinatmium writes "LinuxDevices is currently running a story about a Linux based, uncompressed high definition video DDR/Editor that I have been working on called RaveHD. The article also goes on to talk a little about how it was used at Tippett Studio in the upcoming feature "Starship Troopers 2: Hero of the Federation"."

  1. And here I thought by dj245 · · Score: -1, Redundant
    And all this time I thought that the MPAA's plan looked like this

    1. Make a good movie.
    2. Sequel it to death.
    3. ???
    4. Sue People.
    5. Profit!.

    Emphasis on good. At least it was better than Battlefield Earth. Starship troopers wasn't horrible, but surely there are better movies to sequel? Master and Commander 2 perhaps?

    Someone in hollywood actually thought Starshit Poopers was good enough to spawn a sequel? Hardware shmardware. The thing to consider isn't the nifty hardware/software being used to make the movie, the nugget for consideration is that someone is actually using ANY equipment to make another iteration of a movie only slightly less suckorama than Show Girls or Gigli.

  3. This movie really and truly sucks mightily. by Flave · · Score: 0, Redundant

    Well, I just saw ST2 and I don't care what technology they used to create it -- it's a steaming pile of crap. Crap in, crap out.

    BTW, I really enjoyed the fun and campy original.
