Fair enough - he was making a movie, not a book report for Heinlein fans.
- gojomo 13y agoVerhoeven may have said that. Whether it's true is another matter; he could have been trolling the book's fans. For a project that supposedly started as another entirely unrelated movie, by a director who hadn't read the book, it managed to fit in a lot of the book's particular rhetoric and plot points.
