Saffron Burrows - Wing Commander
- A DOUBLE THREAT - THE BRITISH ACTRESS IS BREEDING MUTANT SHARKS ON LAND AND FIRING PHASER CANONS IN OUTER SPACE.
It's been hit (MORTAL KOMBAT)
and miss (SUPER MARIO
BROS.), but video games have
been spun-off into feature-length
movies. The latest? Wing Commander,
an interactive adventure that
has spawned four CD sequels. "In
the WING COMMANDER movie,
I'm Angel Devereaux, the wing
commander of a group of fighter pilots,"
explains Saffron Burrows. "I
get to play like an RAF pilot in an
RAF cockpit that's been converted
into a spaceship of the future."
Chris Roberts, who directed the
third and fourth installments of
the epic game, is also helming the movie. The supporting cast includes Freddie Prinze, Jr. (I
KNOW WHAT YOU DID LAST SUMMER), David Warner (STAR TREK V & VI) and Jurgen Prochnow (DUNE, THE KEEP). "In some ways,"
continues Burrows, "working on that film and Renny Harlin's DEEP BLUE
SEA is similar. There's a feeling in
each movie of things being beaten up, lived in. I love that feel. And there's a
wonderful, old feel to WING COMMANDER."
