LeHah dug up an old letter from Chris Roberts he received around the time the Wing Commander movie was released in the US. Occasionally people ask about the prospects for another movie and if Roberts would even be interested. Although the box office results for Wing Commander weren't as high as hoped, and this could prevent such a project, these are the thoughts Roberts had. If you're in the mood for more and didn't catch it in March, we have a real audio interview with him here.

BTW David actually composed four themes; The main title theme, the "love" theme, the Pilgrim theme and the Kilrathi theme (which kind of got reduced:-()

Anyway, I hope you like the film. It's not perfect, but it's got a lot of good stuff in it and is better than most of the of the films that come out nowadays... Anyway I hope it does well enough to allow me to go back and tackle WC with a bigger budget (plus I've always liked the WC2 story a lot). I really want to try digital character animation for the Kilrathi.

In person he also told us he might like to spice in some Fleet Action novel elements, but at the moment this is unlikely. :-()

World War 2 Theme Gets Picked On Share on Facebook Share on Twitter Update ID

I guess today is just the day for overlooked movie stuff. Salon reviewed the movie way back when and we never caught the url. Reading it today is rather weird as there are references to the upcoming Phantom Menace and some other older movies. Apparently they don't like the dialog all that much, but give it a good "whet your appetite for Star Wars" rating. One thing they picked on were the action sequences, which I thought were rather good for what they had (think the flight deck decompression scene). You can catch this one for yourself here.
