Wizard Commander

Well, almost all of the information in the following article is out of date or incorrect...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 Wonder

Casting 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.
