Wow, PCXL had something to say about the Wing Commander Movie -- and it wasn't offensive! Check it out...
Wing Commander: All Systems Go!Film To Offer "Movie-Quality Sound And Storytelling"The long-awaited Wing Commander movie will be blasting into theaters beginning March 12th, announced Twentieth Century Fox. The Mark Hamill-less picture is based on the popular Wing Commander series of PC games."We are thrilled to announce our plans for a wide release of Wing Commander. The film has all the elements of a fun movie-going experience, an exciting cast, big special effects and lots of science-fiction action," said a spokesperson that has yet to see the movie or play the game upon which it is based. The film and any possible sequels are hoped to employ Malcolm McDowell for the foreseeable future, saving him from the embarrassment of starring in future lame sitcoms with Rhea Perlman or remakes of cheesy '70s Aaron Spelling dramas.For optimal enjoyment of the film, a Voodoo 2 card and a SoundBlaster Live! are required.
