1998: 20th Century Fox announces they have cast Wing Commander. And what a cast it is! My favorite choice was Fredie Prinze Jr. Because nothing captures the original blue-haired stoic pilot like an aging frat boy. Wing Commander is my official greatest video game movie disappointment, and what I still don't understand is why the movie would even be produced. Wing Commander, as a game, was successful. But especially as the franchise went downhill, why would a movie studio think their crappy writing and boyish good looks could appeal to an audience that had already lost its starry-eyed view of the franchise?
