Space Command, the movie, is a bit of a phenomenon and it hasn't even really been cast yet. Marc Zicree, award-winning Star Trek writer and director, among other things, seems to be the nexus of the command project ...
So I dug in. I'm told that the Space Command Project is all about taking great sci-fi story ideas and style from the golden age of the genre in the 1950s and '60s, and updating them with cool VFX, a contemporary writing style and great acting to make movies for real sci-fi fans. A core group of three: Marc Zicree, Neil Johnson, and Doug Drexler — all veterans of the great iconic TV shows Star Trek, Battlestar Galactica, and others — got together, thoroughly disgusted with what they consider dumb content and story decisions by studio suits who aren't even sci-fi fans. Worse, the execs have little talent or background outside bean counting, and shouldn't be making those kinds of creative decisions. If you've read me before you know I have sympathy for their position. So these three sci-fi nuts, who have among them decades of experience and an enormous array of production and writing talent, decided to say "Screw the studios, let's make a movie." Insane, yes, Possible…perhaps.
