Chris Graf, Origin web guy extraordinare, was kind enough to point out that there's some exciting new content over at the formerly-empty WingCommander.com.

Bad news for those of you who share a homeland with "Hunter" St. John - reports from several sources indicate that the Wing Commander Movie will not be released until September. This MAY still be subject to change, so if you're as excited about the movie as I am, I reccomend you start harassing your movie people.
Word from around the US is that Wing Commander Movie commercials will begin airing on local FOX affiliates on March 1st! For those of you still trying to catch a glimpse of the amazing advertisements, they've been reported as seen on the American Sci Fi channel and the Canadian MuchMusic - as well as those already mentioned.
(Get it?) Anyway, Dan has posted a lengthy story about why his design for the Wing Commander Movie site was canned at the last minute. It's a sad story that basically proves what everyone's already known: FOX is evil. You can read this story here. For the record, I've seen two different designs Dan prepared, and both were far superior to what exists today. Although, on a similar note, I must praise the current webmaster for fixing several problems with dates that everyone pointed out to him... who knows.
In an unusual turn of events, Gamespot has posted a new review of Wing Commander IV. TPOF was given high marks (8.8), and you can read the review here.
