Cinescape posted a rather cool little article about the Wing Commander Movie's release date. Check out the article or just read it below -- things are really looking good. I don't really plan on purchasing any prequels merchandise (well, unless it features that wacky Admiral Ackbar...), but already have my WC stuff reserved. There are some cool pics too... and the caption promises more to come! (Oh, lets all thank Ron for finding this for us...).
'Wing Commander' Release?Even as the dreaded (at least to competitors) release date looms in late spring for Star Wars: Episode One – The Phantom Menace, there are those enterprising types out there hoping to take advantage of the momentum beforehand. Such appears to be the case with the Wing Commander movie. Rand Marlis, president of Creative Licensing Corporation, which is handling licensing of the Wing Commander movie property, revealed that he is confident that the film could have a theatrical release in February to March 1999, according to The Licensing Book trade magazine. Marlis also contends that the Wing Commander could do quite well if it hits theaters before the Star Wars juggernaut arrives. "I think it makes perfect sense to counter-program Star Wars in '99," says Marlis. "People will want to see other movies and purchase non-Star Wars licensed products."
Well, almost all of the information in the following article is out of date or incorrect... but it sure was cool finding the WC Movie mentioned in the February Wizard. Plus, it had a pretty cool picture... (Oh, thanks to my bro Bee_Czar who actually bought the magazine...)
Winged WonderCasting has been completed for the "Wing Commander" movie based on the Wing Commander CD-ROM games series created by Chris Roberts. Roberts' company Digital Anvil has begun shooting the $27 million film in Luxembourg and Germany. It features Freddie Prinze Jr. as Blair, Matthew Lillard as Maniac and Jurgen Prochnow as Commander Gerald. The film also co-stars Saffron Burrows and Elise Neal. The movie's plot is rumored to feature a scenario in which the fighter pilots must save the entire galaxy from a nuclear armageddon - and the evil race the Kilrathi. No release date has been set.

After seeing the picture of the German Heart of the Tiger novel cover, alert reader Swordman mailed me this... it gets stranger and stranger!
I've seen this cover art on another novel that is in no way related to Wing Commander. The story that the cover is from is rather interesting as a human colony is take over by a lizard like race, there forces shoot down a third alien races ship. The survivors are helped by human resistance members and The race is Catlike and some are telepathic. The Cover is of the Human Female main charater and the Alien telepath male main charater. Both are TP bonded to the other. (Closer in mind than Lovers).
Yep, after almost ten years AVault has posted their review of Wing Commander: Secret Missions. Proving once again their incompetance (remember when they decided that the WC Movie had awful SFX before a SFX team had even been assembled?) AVault posted this review of Prophecy Gold, which just goes to show you that all you have to do to review a product is learn the first word of the title.
