Considering Hollywood's past trashings attempts at Heinlein, my first reaction when I read this was "Oh Bog....."
Agreed, if done well, it can be quite good. If done well. If done badly, there's going to be people that will be more pissed than at "Starship Troopers". (Though the animated series, "Roughnecks" was actually fairly good. Go figure.)
