is it a bad thing that the only thing I'm interested in with that Trailer is Carry playing Robitnik?
No. At least, you're not alone in that assessment from what I understand. I'm apathetic towards the whole thing myself.
On the bright side, if everybody else is cashing in on the 90s nostalgia, then, hey, EA, there's this series of space sims you could revive...
Also the World of Warcraft movie should have been about a group of nerdy friends getting sucked into their computer and playing World of Warcraft FOR REAL. Fight me.
I'm honestly even more weirded out by this not having happened yet than by us getting a Sonic film in the late tens. First I expected them to capitalize on the initial hype when SC was announced, then on everyone still being blue-balled like five years later, but nothing seems to have happened. Makes you wonder what's going on behind the scenes. I mean, if they did a reboot of Syndicate of all things...
I'm pretty sure that's the plot of at least two successful animes and that one film with The Rock people seemed to like, so I'm not sure anyone actually disagrees.
That being said it would probably end up being a worse version of that one South Park episode. It would be hard to top that one, especially since it was released back when people still cared about WoW in a big way.
That's a bit disconcerting. Probably for the best it fell through.They handed the reins to PGI (the mechwarrior online guys)

Rather than the 250 times you watched the actual Wing Commander movie on opening weekend back then? Wow, that's harsh criticism of the suggested changes.I would watch that movie ten times on opening weekend
You forgot a few details. Since Blair was called Maverick, and since there'd been talk of a Top Gun sequel/remake for years, the producers decide to kill two birds with one stone. Riffing off the "Danger Zone" soundtrack, they bring in Kelly McGillis as Blair's civilian flight instructor romance. However, then the producers remember that Tony Scott was going to direct the Top Gun remake, and since Tony Scott unfortunately killed himself, it falls to his brother, Ridley, to take up te mantle and direct the new Top Wing Commander Gun film.I know you're talking to EA, not Hollywood, but I'm picturing a Wing Commander movie filtered through the mindset that appears to have given us Sonic.
https://io9.gizmodo.com/vfx-artists-explain-what-it-would-actually-take-to-redo-1834653108Ilion Animation Studio character supervisor Juan-Luis Sanchez (Paddington), who spoke out on Twitter about Fowler’s decision, told io9 he was surprised when he heard that the fan backlash was leading to what could be a partial or complete character redesign. While it’s unclear how much of the Sonic character would be changed—and he made sure to mention he doesn’t know anyone working on the project—he did say the Sonic we saw likely represents at least six to nine months of work. Work that’s now out the window.
“If they took nine months to build a character, it’s two to three months of reworking before you can even put the character back into shots again,” he said. “I can’t even guess what’s going on behind the scenes.”
That doesn’t mean the whole movie will have to be redone. On the contrary, Sonic probably isn’t even in most of it yet. According to Sanchez, when trailers involving digital characters are released, what you see is typically all that’s been finished by that point. That means, by the time the world was fully introduced to Sonic the Beefy-Legged Hedgehog, “maybe five percent” of the movie had been fully animated with him in it. This was echoed by Daryl Bartley, a visual effect artist who worked on Avatar andPower Rangers, who said much of the work on getting the character into the movie is done in the final months, or even weeks, of production.
I'm throwing money at my screen but it doesn't work.You forgot a few details.

Needless to say, it turns out Blair is a replicant, while Maniac is an android. They would defeat the Kilrathi, but they're too busy pondering if androids dream of electric sheep. In the meantime, the aliens show up and infest all the Kilrathi. The question of whether the Nephilim are somehow related to the xenomorphs or are yet another product of the Engineers is suggested in a number of easter egg scenes posted on YouTube, but otherwise left open until the sequel. Which may possibly involve Wing Commander's other famous replicant detective the Gemini sector, and the Steltek. Ridley decides to farm this sequel out to Denis Villeneuve, who will also reuse the sets from Blade Runner 2049 as New Detroit. Much to everyone's amazement, after Ridley Scott's lacklustre Top Wing Commander Gun, Privateer 2649 starring Clive Owen as Lev Arris (alias Brownhair) turns out to be an utterly extraordinary film, blowing people away with fantastic cinematography, visual effects, and the remarkable way in which it actually managed to pick up all the crazy plot pieces and tie them together into one coherent whole with an unforgettable climax. Unfortunately, as with Blade Runner 2049, the critics love it, the fans love it, but only five other people ever bother to watch the film.
And that would probably cover the entire story of the Wing Commander revival .
Holy shit. I can't believe this. When I wrote this a couple of months ago, I was blissfully convinced that any talk of a Top Gun sequel would remain just talk, because, you know, it's just such a stupid idea.You forgot a few details.
