AD's found a nifty press release that should bring back some fond memories for quite a few Wing Commander fans. The document, dated February 7, 1996, announces the imminent release of Wing Commander IV for the PC. To celebrate the game's release, a massive launch party was held at the Beverly Hills Planet Hollywood with Mark Hamill, Malcolm McDowell, John Rhys-Davies and Tom Wilson. The event marked the first time that video game equipment was donated to the chain. WC4 also featured an unprecedented $1 million marketing campaign complete with theatrical trailers in nearly 600 General Cinema theaters. Copies of the game were even sold in some theater lobbies. How exciting! Check out the full press release here. -- Original update published on May 23, 2008
Does anyone per chance know in which restaurants those costumes are displayed (if they weren't removed)?
Sounds like the Beverly Hills one, but I would be surprised if they're still up. One had a Rapier from the movie back in the day.
I think that Planet Hollywood changed their business plan and closed restaurants in several cities. It looks from the Planet Hollywood Restaurant List that they no longer have a restaurant in Beverly Hills.
