Getting Under a Kilrathi's Skin (March 21, 2010)

Finder of things, Doer of stuff
Ever wonder what was under all that make-up and prosthetics that made up the Kilrathi in the Wing Commander feature film? Well, apparently part of the answer is: a man named Ed Rice.

Ed was recently scouring his attic, possibly doing some spring cleaning, and came across some leftovers from his time on the set of Wing Commander. One item was a VHS tape containing an exciting behind-the-scenes look at the making of the film.

There's some pretty neat stuff in the video, if you have a keen eye. This includes some of the best views we've had of the Kilrathi bridge and its Sivar idol and some other hints at some footage missing from the film. You can watch it online at his Youtube channel here, or download the FLV here. For reference, don't forget to check out our rundown of some of the missing scenes from the movie here.

Neat indeed! It's great to see it all so unobstructed by quick cuts, green gas and low lighting.
For some reason, I admired for the first time the legs of the Kilrathi: their shape looks like a good mix of the "bent backward" of WC 3 and normal human legs.
