Wing Commander (movie)

Wing Commander is a 1999 science fiction film loosely based on the Wing Commander games.

In late 1997 Digital Anvil, the company founded by Wing Commander creator Chris Roberts, acquired the live action feature film rights to the Wing Commander series from Electronic Arts.

The film has been criticized by some fans for altering the visual style of the most recent Wing Commander games.

Wing Commander Arena, the latest game in the series, makes reference to the movie, including references to the Pilgrim War, while using ships and settings which first appeared in the main series of games. The manual Star*Soldier does make references to some of the ships from the movie however showing them in silhouettes.
