To all SSC Station occupants
Thank you for the donations over the past year (2024), it is much appreciated. I am still trying to figure out how to migrate the forums to another community software (probably phpbb) but in the meantime I have updated the forum software to the latest version. SSC has been around a while so their is some very long time members here still using the site, thanks for making SSC home and sorry I haven't been as vocal as I should be in the forums I will try to improve my posting frequency.
Thank you again to all of the members that do take the time to donate a little, it helps keep this station functioning on the outer reaches of space.

Interesting. It lists a 17M budget and a 2015 release date, so it doesn't sound like they're going "summer blockbuster" with it; still, its worth keeping an eye on.
Look's like it may be a straight to video release as that's $17 million about half what the 1990's Wing Commander film cost to make, inless they intend to do some sort of crowdfunding for it.
Taking into consideration the "original" WC movie, aaah, well...
Did EA strike again?.
Played by actors/actresses plus cgi or solely cgi with just voice actors? $17 million is inadequate to produce fully loaded movies as it's not cheap to come up with all d props n to hire special effects specislists. If it's just cgi w/o use of camera roll at all, that budget could come up with something then. Hope they don't place too close to star wats debut as people would call it as star wars wannabe or copycat especially from those never heard of it. If this movie is well done, then there'll be hope for new wing commander combat sims from EA
