Cinescape Dates & Pictures
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."
